Ming Da MD-7 SE valve pre amp

[Lawrence001]

Very nice and well regarded pre amp this. Four 6SN7 valves and a valve rectified power supply (currently fitted with Tung Sol 6SN7s and a Russian 5U4G).

Comes with remote control for volume and valve cage. I used it for biamping as it has 2 pairs of outputs. It could also drive a sub this way, so quite flexible as valve pres go.

Only issues of note are a couple of rubs on the perspex top of the cage and slight deterioration of the valve type writing on the top.

It has a very clear and well delineated sound, I'd say it's at the transparent end of the valve pre spectrum. As I have an integrated amp in my main system, this is in my second system and doesn't get used enough to justify keeping.

Asking £575 collected, I don't have the packaging so can't send.

I'm currently near Durham for a few days if anyone wants to collect it from here before I take it to London.

Boxing day bump, this was £1500 new so a pretty good deal. I have a couple of NOS quads of 6SN7 valves that I could sell to the lucky buyer if they want to try some rolling. Some Sylvanias and WWII US Navy Raytheon JAN VT-231s (very nice but cost more).

My mistake, the US Navy JAN valves are Raytheon VT-231 have updated.

Haven't bumped this for a while! I took it to the Wam show and got some positive comments from visitors.

Some very nice sounds coming from your setup at the 'Wam show Lawrence, and much of it will have been down to this pre amp, so GLWS :)

Thanks Steve and good to meet you at the Show. I wish I could have got to your room and heard my little Operas in action but that's the subject of another sales thread to come when I have time...
