Looking for £1900 or swap for stereo power amp of approximately the same value. Beautifully made and sound good. In full working order. I do not have the boxes (crates) so collection would be preferable from my home near Hartlepool in the North East. I am happy to video the amps working and to clean the amps with a soap solution prior to hand over which of course would observe social distancing rules. These beatiful beast cannot be entrusted to a courier, sorry. Thanks for looking.:)

I would caution against wiping down the amps with bleach. You could cause untold damage to the finishes.

Wonderful looking amps Steve.
I see Giovanni (founder of UR) died 10th May.

Yes he did indeed. Very sad. He created some beautiful gear. These amps are rather splendid and to be honest if my C5P pre-amp had two pre-out Phono out puts I would keep them and get a more powerful amp to drive the bass with which is why I text you dude. I suppose my other option would be to intergate a sub?

You could just use Y connectors Steve, which would be the same as a pre with two sets of outputs- all they usually do is wire the second pair in parallel with the first, so electrically the same as using Y connectors.

Mmm, I will source a pair.

Yeh Ali's right Steve, there would be no compromise on sound quality if that's all that's stopping you.
The Y connectors are usually 2 into 1 leads.
You can get RCA splitters as well like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Phono-Splitter-Joiner-Adapter-2-RCA-Sockets-to-RCA-plug/382841969809?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item592328dc91:g:0YQAAOSws6Regf0T&enc=AQAEAAACYIQvEcHUrT7nmUC3yY5qbPyaBN1nJEDYW8Myyp sJPgXKaFyUg1tw9TQKj31K0YJ0%2F1ugquP84deNKVtHFvnPxC Mvnpn1fe5suuwGlJrZPIoy6Jm%2FLZpv%2BwRlC4MFcTcm8rhu I0Tqt870TjYKnbGNW3SIAM7H7IQUGkcLU%2FNxi27V%2F75Hcq HV%2Bp3IxAh%2FKNpw5BAhXDQWI6vx4KsCLfWIDQd%2FY7DW4e hfSI9FLSdRIipxzOy%2Fj2dpuPfC7Fd%2FmqQZC12IAd82RWTg wsZsROQiHZX61iZ7lY4ocDJgHf%2B9JFQL2VvYxshgZi5OFnlU eacC1aOehob4CBRz9fXt94OK7JLTLcU%2FKsDE5oS%2FXkfaYN GLHjcgqm4Czr%2BN8sw3ukmg2i5NgyG0AYIAH5sYkxVWb6SQok z9kfySjwLbWoxjiVbqwqloNGZClYoEg7XrCugFt4fFwGr%2BgQ NNyqKdRCMylHDC0DGYP67uSzjzCWypD6Or%2FaFsfnPZ%2BNG2 gr2lFPNmXl0p6gCXs1pBt9dcez0bMoVu60%2FNlpfn2G36O9A3 c%2FMs1h5y%2FfwBSQYEqVe2vvTHR64Sh8p4Sc8ksZm9A8HeuB GE%2FwGDZxqpuCFhAc%2FWIv6iwey7T1EOZefKRxoAKYlPDe4X Awg2LnVoziuTTgaRqM7T8kgd1Qcy7qw3aNUeeHSQ91%2BdAtoL cOhyJhhARqmD4Im7gvXPyl2Mp7X6gEFh6coQuysM0%2FZP9%2B NKK2P%2FDfNZnpJOfKjCVU8rluA%2Fh5U4sthaUNpMEwfGLnTN Q641tFXowGfXiMzEYc2DtxWI8bVS&checksum=382841969809ef97e1c36894499ead8f6abd7abcf e61

Up for sale again due to buyer backing out.

Back up for sale due to time waster. These beautifully crafted SET monoblocks are in good condition and sound rather good too. I don't have proper cartons and boxed them as best i can. They are very heavy. I would rather not use a large courier company as they may damage them so collection from my home on Teessise is prefered though i am prepared to meet at a reasonable distance to hand over the amps observing social distancing or use a point to point courier. Looking for £1900. All driver valves are Mullard. I would consider a swap for a high end cd player or phono stage of a similar value.

Sensible offers considered

I have the integrated S8 which also uses the slightly scary 845 power tubes. It sounds beautiful. All UR Amps are beautifully designed and made and should last a lifetime. I’m tempted by these, but would have to part with the S8 to do so, which I’m loathe to do.
I’m seriously considering a Chord Hugo TT2 which has a preamp section so these would work.

Do what I always do, buy the thing you want to try and compare with your current one for a few weeks. Keep the one you prefer and sell the other one with little or no loss.
