Albarry M1108's to borrow
Not something I usually do, but I have allowed a friend to borrow my Albarry AP11 Pre-amp and MCA11 head amp.
So I don't have a system at the moment (boohoo).
If anyone is interested I am willing to lend out my Albarry M1108 Mono-blocs to a responsible AoS member, I will deliver within 15 miles of Ramsbottom Lancs.
Albeit these are Series 1's they still sound great to me.
PM me if you are interested.
cheers Al

Al, maybe I can help.Originally Posted by trio leo
Would you like to borrow a little integrated to tide you over.
I have a spare Audio Innovations Alto. It is the early/best one. i dont know your speakers, but if they are not too demanding, this would be ideal.
and yes, I would love to try your amps, if that works for you ( you can borrow mine whatever.)
We could do a dodgy exchange in a dodgy motor way car park somewhere.
let me know

A shame I'm so far away from both you and hifi_dave for things like thisOf all the solid state amps I've heard, the Albarry's are the ones I keep coming back to as a reference overall (why I like the ones I make so much, as they remind me of the Albarry's I've heard, but on a slightly smaller scale).

Albarry amps are amongst the very best at any price, it's just a pity they are not widely appreciated.

I really try to be true to what I hear and what I've heard, as good as my Series 1 amps are, the Series 2's are in a different league, accepting I haven't heard every thing, over 40 years I've heard a lot of top range audio products and to date I haven't heard anything superior to the M1108 Mono-blocs, even at a lot more money.
TBH, I have heard a pre-amp superior to the Albarry AP11 and that was the Nagra Jazz, superb delivery, loads of headroom, effortless performance,absolutely loved it, however, compared to the £2,495 of the AP11, the Jazz was £9,000 and without a phono stage.
It's no secret I am a big fan of Albarry and I would like others to hear the musical connection.
Enjoy your music
cheers Al
