The time has come, the walrus said, to ... sell on my fab MF pre! :lol:

XLR and RCA outputs. USB input. Tape ins and outs. Phonostage (mm/mc). 6 line inputs (4 RCA and 2 XLR). Remote control.
2 box unit - the pre and the PSU.

I've been truly amazed at how good this pre-amp is.
It's handily seen of a surprising number of pretenders to the throne, including a Transcendant Grounded Grid valve pre, an Audio Research LS25ii, and EVO2 LDR passive, Morgan Deva valve.

But for a boxswapper like me, the better the kit is and the longer it stays, the more desperate I get to find a replacement. :mental: Perhaps DJSR is right and I've got OCD. :eyebrows:

Anyhoo, this is finally up for grabs.
PWO and pretty much Mint. (Ignore the 'marks' in the photo - they just wiped off!)
All boxes/packing/manual/remote/leads etcetera. Can courier this anywhere at cost. Or you can come collect (GL17) and have a natter and play a few choons. :)

£345 plus delivery, which is what it cost me.

RRP £1500 - and a great review in HFW, although the phonostage is not as good as they say, imho. I'd advise a nice offboard unit like the Angle Audio stages which punt the MF phonostage into the weeds!

... and I might consider px/swapsies for interesting and kool kit, especially tt/arm combos! ;)
