Title: CSP2+ for sale
Post by Lon on 11/26/18 at 19:59:00

For sale is a CSP2+ preamp with walnut base, a mono switch, stock capacitors, stepped attenuator w/ gold knob, single stereo output and mono subwoofer output. Looks very good. Only issue: I never used it for headphones for years and when I try it now I don't get both channels. May be an easy fix but I'm not attempting it. . . and selling it as is in this condition. If you don't need this as a headphone amplifier it operates flawlessly.

I will ship with stock power cord and stock tubes and perhaps some extra tubes.

Asking 630 dollars including shipping within the continental US. I don't wish to ship outside the US. If interested, please PM or email me at lonjazz@yahoo.com Thanks!

Steve once told me that the contacts can get dirty if the HP jacks aren't used regularly, resulting in noise and signal issues.

Possibly that's it. I'm not going to mess with it as I tend to aggravate problems like this. . . .

Kevin, answered your email. Thanks.

I have had one inquiry on this and told him I'd lower it to $580 so that's the new price. Probably as low as I'll go here before trying it on other sites.

That's a great price especially since (I'm pretty sure) the CSP2+ can take the Anniversary upgrades.

Yes, it's an additional 100 dollars over the CSP3 Anniversary Mod price according to Steve's information sheet for the Anniversary Mods to the CSP2+ . . . .

If one didn't want to use the headphone section or has a Taboo etc. already this works perfectly. The mono switch is great with phono preamps.

I received the preamp on Monday. Lon is a great guy to work with! Using it with a Dynaco ST 70. The sound is amazing! Happy New Year All. Thanks again Lon!
