This was purchased New for a vacation-location studio which subsequently had very little usage. As such it is in pristine and excellent condition. Purchased New, still like-new. Will ship in original box with Manual. The VT-1 is a well-renowned and highly acclaimed Class A Pre, found in some of the world's foremost studios. If you're familiar with the Fearn reputation, nothing more needs to be said, but feel free to ask, check out Doug Fearn's website, DWFearn.com, or read the rave reviews for more details. The VT-series microphone preamplifiers will change the way you think of audio quality. The transparency is astounding. Vocals sound smoother, warmer, more intimate, with a compelling presence. Any microphone and any sound will benefit from the improved clarity, definition, and lack of solid-state artifacts. The D.W Fearn VT-1 recreates the sound of classic tube preamps of the 1960s. Modern components and computer-optimized circuitry, unavailable during the vacuum tube era, elevate this design to a new level of performance.
