SOLD! Hattor 'The Big' Ultimate Passive Resistor Ladder Remote Preamp REX AMRT

This is a top of the range superbly transparent Resistor Ladder passive preamp by Hattor (Khosmo attenuators and expensive REX-AMRT resistors). This being the top of the range ‘Big’ model in all black with a combination of RCA and balanced inputs and outputs and a motorised remote control stepping through the resistor ladder which is a great piece of engineering. This comes complete with the original transport case (there is a crack near the handle) and the outer box so can be posted anywhere. This has an outboard PSU which is also present though please note this is two pin so you will need a two pin to three pin adapter (works on 240v so a passive adapter - super-cheap, I need to keep mine for my bike light!).

I used this for a few weeks only at the end of last year, then the Quad packed in so it got re-boxed. I ended up with a new pre-pwr combo and therefore decided to sell the Hattor - beautiful as it is - because it is just not being used. This is so transparent, with only two resistors in the signal path these are a revelation if you have not tried a quality passive pre before (for info my new pre/pwr combo also has a passive pre so I am a convert)…

This is genuinely hardly used, I used it for a short while with a Quad power amp (it totally transformed the Quad!) then ended up with a new pre/power set and no longer needed it. This is around 12 months old and set me around 1300 euro at the time including the transportation costs.

Selling for £695 and I can post anywhere in the UK for a tenner!
