Accepting serious offers for this ultra rare, mint, Sony TA-2244 Quadradial Stereo Preamplifier. I have only seen two of these on eBay in the last 8 years and this is one of them. This is the quad brother of Sony’s famous and still highly sought after TA-2000 Stereo preamp. Here’s a eBay link to the last one listed (TA-2000) that’s in terrible shape. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150231959202&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005
Considered to have one of the best phono preamps available rivaling expensive modern phone preamps with 70dbs of separation . The SQD model sq decoders were made to go with this. Matched with a SQD-2020 would be really something! This thing can anchor your system with stereo inputs of 2 phono inputs, tuner, aux and tape loop. It has 2 four channel inputs, one for a quad processor like an sq decoder and another for quad tape, CD-4 or a high rez source. Bass, treble and volume controls for all 4 channels. Has a reverb delay circuit to add rear channel sound to stereo recordings and ac outlets.
This quad preamp is in museum shape and I am hard pressed to find a flaw anywhere on the unit including the TAC-1 walnut case other than the first owner‘s name and some # etched on the back that you have to really have to look at to see. The original manual is also in fantastic shape with only the mildest yellowing for a 35 year old manual. I have been under utilizing it for a center channel preamp. This thing really should be the star in some one’s system! All the controls are absolutely quiet and every thing functions as it should. I will warranty the unit to be as described for 10 days after delivery. The unit will be double boxed for shipment. PM me if you are interested.
