Millenia TD-1 – Highest-End Preamp (Tube, Transistor), MINT-Condition, very-rare £1130 Germany

[3Gorillas]

As I need space and money for "the double-bass love of my life" I sell some real special stuff.

 

Selling something very rare and special: Millenia TD-1 Studio preamp. Pretty much "as good as it gets" when it comes to state-of-the-art recording. Anthony Jackson used Millenia Preamps for years in his live rig. I used the preamp in my studio for bass recordings. But it is also excellent for almost any other instrument or vocals. Very flexable and versatile with the tube preamp and transistor preamp. Please check out the online reviews as I am pretty much a tech-dummy. 

Mint-condition, please check the pictures. The preamp never left my house. No transport, it was a permanent part of my studio signal chain.

The preamp comes with power cable and rack ears.

Asking GBP 1130 / 1350 Euro
Shipping (at buyer's cost and risk) is no problem!

The preamp is located in Germany.

Pinnacle really. More an item of scientific equipment. Accuracy of the eq is unparalleled in my experience. A very good price too IMO (rack ears are a useful bonus)

I do love audio gear that looks like it's used by the military 👍

[3Gorillas]

Cheers, thanks a lot guys!
@three: Yes, indeed! I never installed the rack ears as I really dig the stand-alone design with the leather handle.

Me too - it looks really serious as a standalone. I have the Millennia carry bag for basic protection and wasn’t offered the ears - I’ll make enquiries!

@three I just took some pictures of the rack ears. Yes, that looks indeed military-robust

How much does it weigh?

Regarding the Millenia-Website: 20 lbs.
My (slightly crappy) bathroom scale says: 7.1 kg (without rack ears)

Damn, disappointingly light, I was hoping for about twice that 🤫

The unit alone (no bag or rack ears) is about 16lbs. Reassuringly brick-like and solid - the face-plate is nice and thick

This looks like the Hannah Montana preamp. The best of both worlds.
