For Sale: Audio Elcetronics (Cary audio's DIY division) AE-1 (same circuit as early Cary SLP-98 pre) preamp. Has been upgrded from dual mono volumes to stereo Noble volume. Has output and innerstage caps upgraded to Audio Note copper oil caps. Comes with 2@GE6942 and 2@GE6SN7GTB tubes. Has small scratch on top near power transformer. This pre is worlds better IMO than the AE-3 (which I used to have) Asking $500 OBO for this "poormans SLP-98".
