CSP2+ for sale
11/26/18 at 19:59:00

For sale is a CSP2+ preamp with walnut base, a mono switch, stock capacitors, stepped attenuator w/ gold knob, single stereo output and mono subwoofer output. Looks very good. Only issue: I never used it for headphones for years and when I try it now I don't get both channels. May be an easy fix but I'm not attempting it. . . and selling it as is in this condition. If you don't need this as a headphone amplifier it operates flawlessly.

I will ship with stock power cord and stock tubes and perhaps some extra tubes.

Asking 630 dollars including shipping within the continental US. I don't wish to ship outside the US. If interested, please PM or email me at lonjazz@yahoo.com Thanks!

Archie Seasoned Member Posts: 2731	Re: CSP2+ for sale Reply #10 - 12/08/18 at 18:15:07 That's a great price especially since (I'm pretty sure) the CSP2+ can take the Anniversary upgrades.

Lon Seasoned Member "Love without guts is worthless!" Philip K. Dick Posts: 23678	Re: CSP2+ for sale Reply #11 - 12/08/18 at 18:36:03 Yes, it's an additional 100 dollars over the CSP3 Anniversary Mod price according to Steve's information sheet for the Anniversary Mods to the CSP2+ . . . . If one didn't want to use the headphone section or has a Taboo etc. already this works perfectly. The mono switch is great with phono preamps.
