FS: Read Purity Valve pre-amp


Recommended Posts

Well, I went ahead and bought the Pope MPP-2. I still think the Read is the best-sounding preamp, but I just need 2 separate inputs. The Read is more 'open' and 'liquid' and '3D' than the Pope.

I ordered and received this from Jack when he had the design complete - Purity preamps were very much a work in progress. That having been said, this unit does not have the switching 120/240 VAC PSU. BUT it has audiophile / studio grade component in every spot Jack offered one.

Pros:
* tone, tone, tone. I've had a Mark Bass LMK, the Glockenklang Bass Art Classic and the Demeter HBP-1, currently use the Mike Pope MPP pre. None of these can beat Read for tone.
* it's a small and rugged unit. No printed circuit boards, just professional-grade point-to-point soldering.
* thus: easy to service!

Cons:
* relatively unknown
* 1 input
* no bass cut in fx loop

how's 500 quid including shipping sound?
