Can I enquire as to why you are flogging such a lovely piece of kit?

Nathan

Because I want to.
Why do you ask?

.... I just like to try different things. :)
I've just bought a MF A1Pro CDP, and also there's a MHDT Paradisea DAC on its way as part of a swap deal for my Audionote DAC Zero.
And I've a Wadia 830 cdp for sale too!

... I just like to try different things.

The TAG is a very nice piece of kit!

Sorry I should have read your signature, the box swapping afflicition is explanation enough! :eek:

[Alex_UK]

I must admit, your question did make me smile, Nathan - I think it is fair to say that Jerry's box-swapping is legendary!

Having said that, what this means is Jerry has many happy customers - I dare say he knows a thing or two about packaging hifi, and always offers his kit at reasonable prices, usually just getting his money back and not in any way a "dealer" - so if anyone is interested in this (I would be, if I had the funds...) then buy with confidence. I always coveted the TAG McLaren kit, and I dread to think what this would have cost new...

Good luck with the sale, Jerry.

I have an upgraded Audiolab DAX, which I think is very similar to this (if not the same beast under the skin), and I can testify to how nice it is ;)

P.S. I bought mine second hand, I couldn't have afforded it or the CDM new, certainly not the cost they were back in the 90's :eek:

Cor - what a write-up. :eek:

Thanks Alex - is 15% commission still OK? ;)

[Ali Tait]

Yes, I can attest that dealing with Jerry is a pleasure, and the kit is always as described.

[jandl100]

Hey, steady on guys. I can't afford two lots of 15% commission! :)

[Ali Tait]

'S ok Jerry, 10% will do.l

LOL! That's the understatement of the 21st century. Jerry swaps boxes more often than Noel Edmonds.

[StanleyB]

You might have to explain who Noel Edmonds is to our younger and foreign members ;). Jerry on the other hand is a box swapping legend in his own life time.

[jandl100]

Come on folks - Roll Up - Roll Up - luvverly DAC for sale! Get it while its warm. :)

Surely the entire world MUST know of Sir Noel Edmonds? Jerry's fame is restricted to the hi-fi fraternity of course. :)

[Marco]

They'll likely have heard of Noel Edmonds, but perhaps not of the programme (Swap Shop) you're referring to ;)

Marco.

Marco.

Swap Shop indeed, I was referring to Deal Or No Deal! Blimey mate, surely you've heard of that?! :D

[Marco]

Lol - oh yes, my favourite programme! :doh: :eyebrows:

Marco.

[jandl100]

SOLD! :)

The TAG DAC, that is. Not Noel Edmonds.
