About the 2100L

The SAE 2100L is a vintage solid-state stereo preamplifier originally released around 1977-1981. It features a unique SAE parametric equalizer allowing continuous adjustment of frequency, level, and bandwidth, making it highly flexible for various music sources. The unit includes two tape copy circuits, a 30Hz/100Hz switchable low filter, and multiple input terminals including phono, tuner, aux, and tape. It is known for its low total harmonic distortion of 0.005% and high signal-to-noise ratio (95 dB for phono, 100 dB for line inputs). The preamplifier measures approximately 483 mm wide, 178 mm high, and 178 mm deep, weighing about 6.5 kg. It was originally priced around ¥460,000 in 1981 and is now considered a rare vintage piece, often sold used in good condition with original packaging.
