Can Anyone Identify The Make of this Preamp


Around the late 90’s/ potentially early 00’s, I owned a corker of a preamp that I ended up trading in, fool that I was.

I have been trying to recollect the make/name of this Preamp but unfortunately to many G&T’s have dulled my memory. So I am reaching out to the Audiogon community to assist.

Here goes with the description:

It was a champagne gold metal finish valve preamp, standard size, it had an unusual slightly arched/curved top plate with slotted cut outs.

I can’t remember if it had a Phonostage as at that time I was seeking CD Nirvana.

At the back of my mind Audio was in the name, but maybe not.

Also for some reason, something to do with Mark Levinson, again maybe I am putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5. It was definitely not Red Rose.

I live in the UK which may also assist.

Over to you boys and girls.

No rocray, but I have a good memory, and as soon as he said curved top and Mark Levinson, I remembered it in my mind, and knew that it was Red Rose. I was aware that there was one like it made by an outside company, but I forgot that it was Audioprism.

Red Rose also modified and self-branded another large integrated amplifier at some point by another manufacturer that was not Audio Prism. Maybe someone here can recall who that was.

Thanks carpathian but I think that it's chrshanl37 who deserves the credit. It is indeed Dussun who I was thinking of.
