![]() I guess folks have started to figure this out.as I JUST looked on ebay and the prices are going wild. This is applicable to this exact Nikko unit. The discrete circuitry in the Nikko is what seals it. When i do the minimum to fix them up, most folks think they totally slay the Adcom preamps in the $150-350 range, for example. I've given up one of my 'little secrets' that I use when some friend tells me they want a decent preamp at low cost. ![]() But the switches are of a quality that only gets put on premium gear, these days. The switches usually need a bit of cleaning. Re-building these units (which are available for about $75 on ebay) creates a fabulous sounding unit-for the effort and money. The only flaw is a tone circuit that cannot be switched out. Also, the Nikko Beta II and Beta I, (possibly the Beta 40 as well) with a Noble brand plastic film stepped attenuator (now a $150 item, and simply not available),and IIRC.single ended class 'A' circuitry, discrete phono amplifier and capacitor coupled circuitry.
