As well as looking for a Line Magnetic VV3 I'm also looking for a cello Audio palette, and hoping one of you might have one stashed away.

There's one on evilbay here in Spain but the seller refuses to answer my requests to hear it, pick it up - so bit dodgy in my opinion as at its inflated price of 5k I'm not taking the risk (never had a good experience buying from Spanish).

PM me if you're hiding one away.

I’ve always wanted one too ���� But price points avoid it.

Heard the pre for many hours listening and it is spectacular. I owned their Reference Dac for a while, most regretted sale ever!

So hard to demo such a unit as so rare.

Hope you come right 🙂

Thanks guys. This guy in Barcelona is either an idiot or sick in bed. Have messaged him numerous times to ask if I can go see it but zero response. Frustrating as it's only 4 hour drive.

There's a very particular reason I want the cello but I'm not going into it here.

I've messaged a guy in the USA with one on eBay to ask if he would ship it direct to Cello (also in the states) to have it serviced before sending on to me. As yet no reply and I don't think he'll do it which means paying duty twice if I send it back to cello, which I would, not to mention two chances for loss or damage.

There is one being offered on a German site but you have to register to message the seller (in France) and no matter how I try I cannot register.

Patience....

Have just realised that the ones on eBay are the Palette Preamp, said to be interior to the Audio Palette.
