Description: Hand built-to-order Hairball Elements Gold 500 Series Preamp! From Hairball's website: Gold is based around the classic Jensen 990 op-amp. The Hairball Audio 990 is assembled in the USA and built to the specifications of Deane Jensen’s now famous JE-990 paper published in the February 1980 AES journal. The 990 op-amp has become the GOLD standard for discrete op-amp performance. To compliment this pristine signal chain, we've worked with Jensen Transformers to create a 500 series sized version of their classic JT-16 input transformer. This transformer has set the bar for clarity and performance. To complete the chain we've used the equally impressive Jensen JT-11 output. This is one of the highest quality clean and open pres available. Unlike the cheap transformerless pres that come with many common audio interfaces, gold does not sound dull. It enables the kind of clarity and detail you'll only find with components of this calibre. It's the perfect pre for recording acoustic instruments and anything you'd like to remain true to the source. I am including the optional stepped Grayhill gain pot at no extra cost, unless you specifically request a normal continuous pot! PLEASE ALLOW 1-2 WEEKS for proper build and testing before your unit is shipped. (FREE SHIPPING)
