Gorgeous Goldox Vacuum Tube line stage stereo preamplifier
Recently serviced and operates perfectly
See matching Goldox tube power Amp on separate auctionBeautiful vintage Goldox LS-2S vacuum tube line-stage preamp from my vintage audio collection.  Preamp was used very lightly, only turned on periodically to ensure smooth operation. It's very rare, and I fortunate to have matching Goldox tube power amp, that I am offering on a separate auction (see last 2 pictures)....>I'm not sure of the exact age of the unit. Based on the appearance of the unit, I would guess mid or late 1990's, between 1995-2000.
I found 2 great reviews (2000 & 2001) in AudioReview.com. Goldox LS-2S is similar to Conrad-Johnson PV-10AL, which is quite rare line tube preamp with great reputation.  Serviced recently. The unit has been serviced by a technician and has been shown to be operating properly.  Cosmetic condition. Preamp is close to Mint, has few small scratches on top panel, where amp sits.  It was used very little. Functional condition. Tested and everything operates as it should.  I mostly play with Klipsch Heritage speakers (Forte, Cornwall, Belle); it's great match.
Very musical, absolutely great.  No any issues.  100% functional.  Smooth, sweet sounding preamp that will match well with your power amp. 
Crystal clear sound (no coloring), no distortion, no hum.  Channels are equal. 
Tubes have very little hours.
It's 120V, so I plug it directly into wall.  I believe it's "dual voltage", so automatically adjusts to 120V in US and to 220V in other countries. Toroidal transformer. About 6 years ago original transformer was upgraded with audiophile toroidal transformer (picture). Pre-amp has five inputs with one out and one tape monitor loop. What I particularly like:
1. Built quality.  It's a large 18" wide x 13" deep, very heavy pre-amp (not light-weight), it's about 20 lb.
2. It's not that old as common 1960 tube gear that required total overhaul.  This preamp doesn't need anything.
3. It's very pretty.  It has very attractive gold trim - gold knobs (they are heavy solid metal knobs, not plastic), gold feet, gold RCA plugs, etc.
4. Very important, thick anodized aluminum face plate, similar in thickness and width to vintage Pioneer amp (say SPEC-4), perfectly match with vintage silver-faced amps and receivers.  See last 2 pictures with matching tube amp.
I love thick aluminum faceplate that perfectly matches my vintage silver-faced audio gear. Line-Stage is true audiophile preamp because signal goes straight through and “uncolored”.
A Line Stage is a preamplifier which handles only line level signals. No phono stage built in.
A Line Stage preamp is a preamplifier that switches between your high signal sources such as FLAC player, MP3 player, CD player, tuner, etc. It serves as your control center of your stereo system and connects to your amplifier. A line stage preamp by definition does NOT allow you to hook up a turntable because that would require a phono stage. 3 tubes:   All tubes are Chinese military production tubes.  They are fantastic tubes with great reputation.(2) 6DJ8 tubes;(1) 6N6-T (6N6T) tube w/ Shuguang Star Logo, 9-pin. Shipping. I have good experience with shipping vintage audio from my collection.  I know how to ship vacuum tube gear.  It will be properly packaged for safely arrival. Tubes and tube sockets will be marked for correct tube placement. International Shipping: I will ship Internationally by eBay Global Shipping Program.  When you bid, eBay tells you the exact shipping cost before you bid. Legal DisclaimerI test and describe to best of my abilities (read description, see close-up pictures, read my feedbacks), however all vintage used electronics SOLD AS IS, no return or refunds will be given.Due to a very few part swap buyers, I do not accept returns for this item - SOLD AS IS
