Chandler Limited GERM 500 MK2

The Chandler Limited Germ 500 MKII 500-Series Preamp is an updated version of Chandler Limited's original Germ 500. This unit has an improved faceplate layout and nicer look. It uses classic germanium transistors in all class A, transformer balanced circuits. The Germ 500 MKII is Chandler's well-known Germanium Preamp adapted for 500 series racks. They use the same transformers and amp blocks to assure the sound is consistent with their rack version. They have updated the power on the MKII so there no known power-up issues with current lunchboxes and rack systems.
