Now definitely for sale, having equivocated! And that's no reflection on its stunning performance, believe me.

I waited for ages to find a Classic V2 or Baby Ref with remote control and it does everything I expected: absolute transparency being the most obvious attribute. It's a real cracker. Stomped all over a couple of tube pre's, and we're not talking merely analytical detail here (no-one who enjoys that could possibly be disappointed); we're talking music, impact, grip. Quite extraordinary.
The remote option added £1,000 onto the £6,000 retail price . This 2013 unit was bought from Jonathan himself a year ago (though not by me) and got a clean bill of health. It has 3 balanced XLR inputs and 3 unbalanced RCA inputs, and one pair each balanced and unbalanced outputs. It comes with spare brass controls, 4 XLR blanking plugs and a pair of XLR-RCA adaptors.
See updated pics.
PM me if you are genuinely interested please.
