Edwards Audio MC 1

[Si74]

As title, neat little phonostage that does mm/mc by moving jumpers inside.
Minted in original packing with instructions. Bought as a spare for setting
up tables with mm's so barely used.
£150 + postage, No offers thanks, price is firm & fair.

Potential purchasers might be interested in this:

In the recent July 2009 issue of Hi-Fi News the MC1 was awarded the Outstanding Product award for representing the pinnacle of sound at the price.

“I compared the MC1 directly with a highly regarded Graham Slee Gram Amp 3 'Fanfare' MC phono stage priced just £17 less. Within just a few bars of music I was bowled over by the MCI, it being immediately apparent that it was a 'class act'.” JB HFN July 2009.

Hi-Fi World in their Jan 2010 issue said of the MC1 and PSU2 combo: "This Edwards Audio pair seemed to combine the sense of timing of the A.N.T Kora, with the definition of the Trichord Diablo, with NC PSU". Both of these are more than double the price.
