Audio Analogue Maestro Integrated Amplifier

[Mike]

I'm toying with the idea of parting with this. It's a lovely sounding amp that could drive just about any loudspeaker in the known universe, but I miss valves so just checking interest at the moment. I'd be most interested in swapping for a fairly beefy valve amp (50+ watts) rather than selling for cash, but would be open to offers.

Hi Mike,
Sorry, not really a serious enquiry, just lusting after some nice kit (got the bug bad !! ). Not sure I could even pick it up but it would make life difficult for the burglars !
Unless of course you do 0% APR credit, nothing to pay for the first 10 years and then 'a dollar down and a dollar a week', in which case .......

Cheers,

[Mike]

No worries, Dave.

But you never know, I may just sell it for quite a bit less than you might be thinking. Price will certainly be in the hundreds rather than thousands!

[Mike]

Deal now done!

Cheers...
