Ripley's Cat

Dear all,
Never thought I'd need to sell this beauty, but needs must - and Mrs Ripley's Cat has wisely made me aware to the relationship between outgoings and incomings (or the lack recently, thereof).
I bought this about six years ago and it has provided absolutely sterling - and faultless - service. It's been partnered with a few pre-amps, but saw the best part of its service coupled with a Quad 99 Pre, feeding the life and movement into Quad 22L floor-standers. I've recently moved to bi-amping my system and the new amplification set-up narrowly punches above the weight of this 405 - just. That being said, what I've gained in scale, I've also lost in finesses and detail. Still, my hearing at the upper-frequencies is going (I put this down, in part, to being a father of two girls.) So the Quad's ready for a new home.
I'll let the photos do the talking, along with the link to the Net Audio webpage for details of the internal goodies:
http://www.net-audio.co.uk/quad405mk3.html
It's worth noting that the amp was modified by Fidele Audio (rather than by me, thank God!) and includes the OPA637AP op-amp upgrade. It also includes a service sticker inside for 2011, so consider it electrically sound and safe. That saying, there's no implication or inclusion of any kind of guarantee.
I would, in all fairness, favour collection from Lincolnshire, but I do have an official Quad 405 box for it to be sent via Parcelforce with enhanced compensation.
Price will be a firm at £350 with and additional £20 for postage (this has been quite difficult to calculate due to a scarcity of previous NET Audio Mk3 Quad 405 sales, but have endeavoured to remain realistic - please feel free to comment to the contrary). Bank transfer, Paypal gift, cash are all fine and dandy. I should point out, that I shall have to move across to the evil bidding empire in a handful of days, if no noise on this fine site ....
Any questions, please ask.
Kind regards,
Matt
