Alchemist kraken preamp & power amp, dual mono class A

[andyrlb]

New RCA’s fitted .
The phonostage is installed but there is an issue with its connection, this has never bothered me as I use vinyl .
This has seen off many a good amp and I have advertised it several times and bottled it when it came close to selling it .
This is the rarer late mk1 gold and stainless steel edition.

It does sound very good indeed.
I’d like £500 please ( established members)
Collection ONLY ( sorry )

Have to say they look georgeous…!

I've begun thinking of upgrading / replacing my MF X-A300R recently, but was thinking of sticking with MF... migh do some more reading about these...

Do you have any idea what the phonostage issue is Andy ?

Hi Mike, well basically the phonocard once sat in these very small sockets ( if you imagine a 2-3mm high goblet ) that’s what they look like , if I remember correctly there would have been 6 but when I finally tested the phonostage I pulled the card out and there were only 3 of those little sockets remaining, I tried in vein to substitute them for a direct connection using some stiff wire from some old caps but only one channel worked so I gave up , I’m confident it’d be an easy fix for someone more competent than me .

Cheers
Andy

As an offer of camaraderie in these awkward times I will fix this problem for free for any prospective buyer, just cover postage costs.

That is very a kind and generous offer from you Alan, thank you .
To add to this I am prepared to drive and meet for up to an hour from Milton Keynes, though I do prefer to demo anything I sell but given the circumstances of these times I feel exceptions need to be made
