Pass Labs HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier
- I ONLY EX-DEM WITH ALL PACKING AND FULL WARRANTY
- The HPA-1 headphone amplifier was designed ground-up to become what we believe is one of the very best sounding headphone amplifiers available today. With low feedback, wide bandwidth and a direct coupled MOSFET output stage, this musical instrument drives even the most difficult headphone loads with ease, power and grace. The HPA-1 also functions as a line-level preamplifier that sonically rivals much higher-priced competition. The measured performance is superb and the sound even better.

NOW IN STOCK
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND LIMITED TO 10,000 NUMBERED COPIES Demonstrating a deep-seated flair for soul and R&B, Paul Simon recruited gospel backup singers and traveled to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios to further refine the vibrant sounds he desired for There Goes Rhymin’ Simon. Clearly, his instincts proved correct. Many rightly consider the iconic singer-songwriter’s third album a masterpiece – one that, per critic Robert Christgau, “suggests a new grace and flexibility for the mass-pop mode, and invests small subjects and emotions with an almost luminous wit and awareness.”
Peter Frampton “Frampton’s Camel” – Intervention Records 180g Vinyl

Camel includes the smash hits “Lines On My Face,” “Don’t Fade Away” and a majestic cover of Stevie Wonder’s “I Believe (When I Fall In Love With You It Will Be Forever).”

Petteri’s ability to play in many styles with sincerity and his natural lyrical facility with his instrument made him the ideal candidate to work with luminary conductors such as Esa-Pekka Salonen in Helsinki and now Gustavo Dudamel at Paris Opera.
Pharoah Sanders – Live – Theresa Records 180 Vinyl 2 LP Gatefold Sleeve
This album features Pharoah Sanders playing some no-nonsense tenor in a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders performs “It’s Easy to Remember” (in a style very reminiscent of early-’60s John Coltrane), an original blues, and two of his compositions, including the passionate “You’ve Got to Have Freedom.”
The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form. Review by Scott Yanow/AMG

Phasemation CA-1000 Pre Amplifier (3 Units)
Functions required for a control amplifier (pre-amplifier) are to select a signal source, to adjust the volume, and to transmit a music signal for a power amplifier.
Phasemation’s CA-1000 is an outstanding control pre-amplifier consisting of 3 units with high performance and high quality of sound due to adopting the mono structure consisting of separated two units, left and right, and the circuit using a tube for the signal processing section.
The most important section of the audio playing equipment is the volume adjustment adopting a hybrid attenuator (Phasemation’s own patent technology) and the relay switching method (not using a rotary switch) utilizing the control technology acquired through extensive measurements and testing. As a result, you can feel the overwhelming liveliness, the re-creation of vista-ed stage, and a rich musicality to the point you are no longer aware of the presence of the amplifier.
