Further Information

Rather fabulous, Tom Evans Audio Design, (TEAD) phono stage, preamp and power amp' for sale! 

Just add Vinyl front end, speakers and cables!

I'm selling because I now have a latest TEAD Mastergroove SR111 phono stage on order. I'm also looking at buying one of the new TEAD

Mastervibe preamps and a pair of Linear B power amps'.

For sale as follows:

TEAD. Absolute top-of-the-line Mastergroove SR mark 2, phono stage, with outboard PSU, for cartridges with outputs in the range of around 0.45mV. 

I sold this mind-boggling phono stage, new, to a valued client who has since exchanged it for a very latest Mastergroove SR Mark 3 phono stage!

Could be upgraded to latest markl 3, by the buyer, if desired. (expect an 8-9 month turn around, which the client avoided by buying new)

This is the very top-of-the-line of the famous TEAD phono stages. Works great with my 0.05mV!! Audio Note IO Gold, 0.2mV Ikeda Kai,

0.2mV Ortofon SPU GM 11 E and 0.35mV upgraded Denon 103. Cartridge loading and capacitance are user adjustable.

This phono stage is larger than many power amps! plus the separate power supply! 

TEAD Vibe 1.7 preamp, (latest version) bought new, by me, from TEAD and since updated by TEAD to very latest spec.

This is the top-of-the-line version which Includes the separate Pulse 2.2 outboard PSU.

TEAD Linear A mark 3, valve/hybrid power amp'. Bought new from TEAD in 2017 as the then mark 11 version. Returned to TEAD

and rebuilt as the latest mark 111 version. Now has enhanced power supplies, output transformers and completely new Input circuitry.

Global FB is adjustable from 0db to 3db, in six steps, via rear control knob.

New TEAD power amps come without any valves! The buyer has to provide their own valves or get them from the TEAD dealer!

I am selling this Linear A with a used-but-test-as-new matched set of Electro-Harmonix EL84s. I'll also Include a near-new matched set

of best-of-the-range, Psvane T11, EL84s (which are Tom Evan's preferred make of EL84).

I am Including three TEAD Aus/NZ mains cables which are an option, at extra cost, from TEAD
