Custom-made tape/phono preamp by Charles King. It has two inputs, one for tape and one for phono.

smooth 300 watt stereo amp that is musical and a joy to own

What's special about the Magico V3 is that as detailed and revealing as they are, they do not sound sterile and lean in my system. They are extremely musical, and music sounds beautiful through these speakers. From highs to lows everything sounds superb, of course component matching is of great importance.

I've been using Audiovalve products long before they appeared in the pages of Stereophile. I truly believe Helmut Becker designs some of the finest tube equipment in the world regardless of price. Audiovalve remains an excellent value in a time of inflated prices. 

NOS RCA clear tops. Natural, open, and detailed sound with very tight bass. Hand made in Germany.

Studio Mastering deck with Flux Magnetic heads configured for me by Dan Labrie at ATR Services.

This A810 belongs to a private owner for most of its existence and is in excellent condition. I have the original box and packing which is rarer than the deck itself. Fully restored by a great tech, Marc Bischoff.

The playback head on this Studer A807 is wired out to a King/Cello tape head preamp built by Charles King.

Solid table with excellent motor and power supply..great speed stability.

I have the SL (Single Layer) low output version of this excellent MC cartridge.

low output .24mV , copper coil, silver base option.

This is a very revealing and muscular sounding cart with lots of low end energy. Highs is clean without edginess...Clear and neutral through the midrange, and powerful, tight, dynamic bass.

Musical and well balanced, doesn't draw too much attention to itself. I can see it being a good daily workhorse.

Low output moving coil, Microline stylus, boron cantilever, occpc copper coils. A very nice audio bargain that delivers.

nice round, and smooth sound. Warm side of neutral. The Matador and Terminator cords are musical cables and a good match with the Magico's.

Attractive absorber/reflector product.

This phono preamp is an audio bargain! I’ve compared and prefer it to some much more expensive units. It has two switchable inputs for two turntables, a MM and MC switch, a convenient selector knob for MC load impedance adjustment, low noise very balanced sound that is not clinical nor overly ripe, and up to 70db of gain. Build quality is really exceptional. The chassis is sturdy with 1/4" thick metal top and bottom plates, front panel is glass like with a logo that lights up when powered on, not to mention a power supply built into a separate chassis and connected to the main chassis by an umbilical cable. A really attractive package overall.
