    Default For Sale: Slagle AVC preamp

    Hi all,

    For sale is my Slagle preamp. Expertly built by Ali Tait, I've had this for about 12 months and it's provided sterling service.

    I fancy a bit of a change and am looking for an active preamp to see how that fares.

    These rarely become available so it really is a huge gamble that I'm going to find something as good for the money but that's how it goes.

    This thing is HEAVY so postage won't be cheap.

    Priced at

    £450 delivered
    £425 collected - will provide a cuppa and biscuits.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Interesting, when I sold this case it had a passive pot in it plus a selector.

    Wish I'd seen this a bit earlier.

    I didn't think that would hang around for long. If I hadn't already got five pre-amps, I would have had it.

    It's a different animal these days, Tom. All the better for it too.

    Yes, and nice it was too, however I’d been given a pair of the Slagle AVC’s by Nick so decided to modify this as it’s such a nicely made bit of kit. Was very happy with the result. Deliberately built it so it could be returned to standard easily, but was so much better as an AVC pre.

    Have another AVC coming soon using Tribute autoformers, I’m hoping that will be even better. Tribute make some of the best transformers on the planet.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
