I purchased this 2007 Gram Amp2 SE phono amp recently from Sebastapol, Paul. https://www.hifisystemcomponents.com/forum/sold-gram-amp-2-se-original-model_topic5240.html I want to thank Paul for this, truly outstanding condition and at an excellent price. Thank you.  Immediately upon confirming the sale, I spoke with John C about obtaining a PSU1 and whether there were any upgrade possibilities for this unit. John explained that it would be best to enjoy it as is, that the PSU1 would be the best way to upgrade, but that he would happily run it through the sophisticated Slee measurement/analysis tools to check that it was still in spec. I mentioned this to Paul, who said that although the unit had spent some time in storage, he would also be interested in seeing the results. I made a journey to visit John today, and spent a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours in his knowledgeable, engaging and hospitable company. Thank you John. John plugged the 14 year old GA2SE in to the Audio Precision Analyser and ran a few frequency checks. I think it's worth sharing these results. Channel Match @ 1KHZ - 0.02 dBu 10KHZ - 0.06 dBu 100KHZ - 0.05 dBu RIAA +/- 0.2 dBu Noise Un-WTD -85 dBu THD + N @ 6.2mV 0.008 % @ 1.9mV 0.02 % ------------- John |

John Just shows that Graham Slee stuff is built to last. I remember 2 CD players one of which was only 3 years old when it gave up, the other one was not much older both good brands at the time and one which still makes CD players today. I do know they have moving parts but still. Hope you have many more years of enjoyment out of it that's if you don't get the up grade bug. ------------- Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables.

I couldn't agree more. I think it's fair to say that John C was a little surprised, in fact he measured it twice to double check the readings. I think that this random test can only help to confirm the values of reliability and integrity of the work that goes into all Graham Slee products. ------------- John |
