You are buying an API 512C that was modified with the rare, no longer made, API/Profile 4804 output transformer which under my personal testing gave it more clarity and open sound then the remakes that came with the 512C originally. The opamp is newly made marked with 2016, so you are getting a new API 2520 on these modules. Also, the sound can even more be enhanced for the true API vintage vibe by replacing the modern opamp with a vintage API opamp if you so choose. These are sold with the reissue opamps which are good, however, for those with the preference of api vintage tone, prefer the older opamps made by API in the 70s. The Profile 4804 was an exact duplicate of the older API 2503, there was a lawsuit dispute between API and Profile back in the days, hence why Profile stop making them. These are rare and hard to find, I sold several years back quickly on Ebay. And installed several in my reissue API modules for a better sound. Here is your chance to grab them. I have plenty of API 312c that are original vintage, and have no use for these, hence the sale. This type of transformer have very good HF-property and have a bandwidth up to mHz range, because the perfect phase response (aprox +/- 1 degree/10Hz to 100kHz) and it has a very good transient response. THERE ARE TWO MODULES. I AM SELLING SEPARATELY. PLEASE NOTE international buyers, the shipping is an ESTIMATE. It may cost a bit more, if so, be prepared and bid accordingly. It all depends on the USPS and your country. I do charge what it cost to ship.
