Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it
We at Backert Labs have just introduced our new preamp, which is sonically very close to our $7,500 unit at less than half the price ($2,995 to be exact).
It doesn't have a name yet, so we're having a contest: a lucky listener who suggests the name that we decide to use will win one.
If we don't use any of the names suggested, there will still be a winner, selected at random from all entries. If the name we select was submitted by more than one entry, we'll draw the winner at random from those entries.
Our press release is handy if you'd like some info before submitting your name idea.
Enter here.
Good luck!

And you can actually HEAR the preamp-in-question-which-shall-not-be-named-because-it-actually-isn't-named in *Room 323* at the Capital AudioFest this weekend. Along with the $10K Montis speaker by MartinLogan, some very nice AudioQuest interconnects/other lovely cables, the Chord Hugo DAC, and a VPI Classic with 3D tonearm (yum). |
You have to visit BackertLabs.com to enter This page takes you directly to the entry form. (And the rules! They're important too!) Cheers! |
Oregonpapa, we like the confidence! We are happy to share a nice Stereophile write-up from the Capital AudioFest, which mentions this giveaway. (2nd item down) The weird thing... we can't remember what LP that was?! Anybody? Have a great weekend! |
You can enter our September Preamp Giveaway right: here. And yes we are sorry, but residents of Rhode Island are not permitted to enter -- RI has legal reporting and registration requirements for giveaways that we did not want to attempt and then somehow fail to comply with. We truly wish everyone could enter! The good news is, residents of the other 49 United States can participate, and each person/household can submit up to 3 names. A pretty picture of the prize. Another pic, which highlights the easy-access clear tube door on top. |
So far, Audiogon is the 2nd largest group entering our little giveaway... we are still reading all entries! Still trying to figure out what the guy who suggested "The Scott Walker" was thinking?... |
Hi Cusco... to enter, just visit our website and you can take it from there. Placing ideas here in the forum won't get you entered (and just gives away your ideas). If we settle on a name that was submitted multiple times, the winner will be selected by random drawing from those entries. |
Guys, Just a reminder that our September Preamp Giveaway is ongoing until Sep. 30 and that a **maximum of three names** can be submitted by any person/household! Good luck... |
Just one week left to enter, gents.... you can suggest a max of 3 names for our new pre.... as always, you can get a leg up on what kind of name to suggest by reading our press release.... good luck to all! |
Thanks for the kind words! To answer your question, let's consult the Official Rules.... ahh, it says here that the winner will be notified by October 15, 2015. We will contact the winner by email (which is why it's important to provide your correct email address with your entry). |
Czarivey, under the rules we have to notify the winner by Oct. 15. We will announce the winning preamp name after we have heard back from the winner and we make sure they were eligible to win... under the rules, if they take too long to respond (more than 10 days) then we move on to another name. We will tell the world who the winner was, if they are OK with it. Cheers, |
