Got a few big ticket purchases coming up so I'm selling some choice pieces to make that happen...
Here's two pairs of JLM BA500 mic preamps with vintage parts.
One set has a vintage 1970s cinemag 75122-90 input transformer removed from broadcast components.
One set has a vintage 1970s Jensen JE110K-HPC, input transformer removed from a Deane Jensen custom mixing desk.
Both have 1970s vintage discrete opamps from BTI OA400, it's possible that these are actually a rebadged API 2520 as the companies were just down the road from each other but you'll find very little info on them out there.
Output transformers are also 1970s vintage 2503.
These sound like the 1970s and have just come straight out of my 500 rack and work perfectly. They have all the functions of the BA500 though I haven't installed the DI, you can do that easily by buying a DI module from Joe and then following the instructions to install. The stock BA500s sell for 750 each so this is basically getting all the vintage components for free. I'd like 1500 per pair.
Welcome to come and test before purchase and if you collect from me in Collingwood I'll take $20 off the price to save the hassle of postage etc.
