van den Hul Grail SX Used Demonstrator Model
van den Hul Grail SX Used Demonstrator Model
Used demonstrator Van den Hul Grail SX Phonograph stage, flagship model, latest production version. This is an end-of-the-road, echelon level current based phono stage for a truly discerning analog playback enthusiast. Cosmetic condition is conservatively rated as 8/10, due to a couple of tiny, superficial scuff marks at the rear chassis edge which I tried to show in the photographs but in reality are almost impossible to see, in reality this Grail SX easily rates 9/10 cosmetically and functions flawlessly. Playback characteristics include sheer transparency, speed, clarity, ultra low noise combined with inky black backgrounds and an organic, yet neutral + balanced musical timbre. Current based, automatic impedance matching circuit design requires absolutely no need for additional phonograph cartridge resistance tuning loading. This demonstrator Grail SX was never actually removed from the packing box and used in our client's system, after initial delivery, it was kept sealed in dry storage for a brief time, then sent directly back to us for consignment sale.
Manufacturers warranty and original packing contents are included.
