Finale Audio Maestro-6 Hybrid Tube Preamplifier. Using direct-coupling and the classic "6" (6V) tubes - the 6DJ8/6922 - the M-6 offers a contrast in presentation compared with the Maestro and Prelude. The sound is more up-front and "hi-fi", in the style of the original Marantz Model 7. This version features a solid-state rectifier (no tube in the rectifier position), for more reliable and stable operation. The M-6 is designed for the audiophile who has 6DJ8/6922 tubes in their collection. For more on the background and rationale of the M-6, please read the Maestro page at Finale Audio's website: https://www.finaleaudio.com/maestro

Serial #002 was originally from 2017. This is a 2022-revised preamp with the rectifier-delete option. It includes an excellent phono section. As with all Finale and Triode Lab products, everything in the circuit has been designed for low noise - even the power transformer is installed at an angle (based on our listening and measuring) and blocked by a copper shield. Model for sale has the upgraded acrylic top cover. Full 2-year warranty, excluding the tubes.

A pleasant surprise

I'm sure that most fans of audio have at least once purchased a piece of gear that didn't live up to the billing or expectations that we had hoped for.
Such is not the case with my purchase of the Finale Maestro preamp. From the obvious build quality and minimalist design to the plus that it is made in Canada, I couldn't be happier. Most importantly, the sound quality of my system has improved dramatically in regards to depth of field and soundstage. The Maestro certainly plays very nicely with my SE2a3 amp and Coherent gr 12's. I can easily recommend the consideration of the Finale Maestro preamp to anyone shopping for a new pre.
