EAR 825Q Stereo tube mastering equalizer

As pictured...rare as hen's teeth, purchased new in 2001 from EAR back when

This isn't a cheap knock-off made from an incomplete schematic and 'best guess' inductors...this isn't a home-brew DIY clone...this is the real-deal OG piece hand made by Tim himself with his custom hand-wound inductors.

Sounds like nothing else....this may be one of your last chances to own one of these at a reasonable price...these are destined to command near Fairchild-like prices in the future.

The pedigree of this one includes stints at Sony NY, Sony Santa Monica, Threshold Mastering and finally Marsh Mastering.

Power supply transformer has been professionally remoted into a metal housing and it is loaded with (6) ultra-quiet Wathen Cryotone ECC88-WC tubes ($1200 retail)....this combination brings the self noise of the unit below -100dB on isolated/conditioned power.

There's only so many of these in existence, I was fortunate enough to pick up another one of these a while back and I'm finally willing to let this one go. Tim is sadly gone....don't miss this opportunity.
