Lovely sounding amp this with one of the best phono stages anywhere near its price and designed by John Curl and Nelson Pass when Nakamichi were at the top of their game. I will say £225 plus P&P if required.

I have a Mk2. Lovely pre-amps. The build quality is unmatched in anything else I've seen for sensible money.

Have a google for internal shots folks and you'll see what I mean.

Good luck with the sale Grant.

Thanks Geoff. yep it is quite impressive inside. Might try and open her up to,morrow. These are fairly rare up for sale tbh. but do come up on occasion. this one is in pretty nice condition and sounds great. If I didnt have to get space I'd keep it for ever....might yet.;)
have been using it with a Cambridge p500 and it is a grand duo.

That's a really nice bit of kit Grant. Bet you must be reluctant to part with it.
