FS: Audio Research LS15 and Meridian 559

Never thought I'd part with these, but a change has got to come...

The LS15 is in excellent condition. It's a fully balanced, remote-controlled valve (6922) preamp and comes with Mullards fitted. I'll include a set of NOS JAN Phillips 6922s (although if memory serves me correctly one may be microphonic), and another set of Chinese-made valves. It is in the original double box and is complete with the remote and ARC's customary screwdriver.

I'm asking £850 collected. An identical one just sold on eBay for £1010.

The 559 is a behemoth, 42kgs of muscle amp that'll drive anything. Fully dual mono construction, with separate 1.2kVA transformers for each channel. It's conservatively rated at 300w per channel and is unconditionally stable. The amp is internally wired throughout with van del Hul wiring. Rare as a rare thing.

I'd like £1500 collected. You'll have to spend double that to get a comparable amp by another brand.

I would strongly favour collection.
