Hey all. I'm moving on from my Carver C-1 preamp. It's in great working condition sonically and cosmetically. also have two face plates for the unit, one stock face plate in perfect condition and one that has been machined to fit in a 19" stereo cabinet (shown). Both are in great shape and it gives you the flexibility to rack mount it or fit it in a cabinet.

asking $200 + shipping

Local pickup available in Pittsburgh area.

    Another shameless bump.

    I'm open to offers and/or trades.

    Looking for a Blu Ray player, TT tonearm, small amps, you name it.

    ctank, that TFM-24 is like bread and butter to me. I'll have to think long and hard about that.

    I've been lusting for a Sunfire amp to replace that Carver with... If I could line one up I'd be all about that offer.

    Paden501 I just picked up a super nice set of 2.3TL's, and would be interested in your pre-amp. Could you give me a call @ 316-299-1047? I don't have the post count to PM you.

    Thanks,

    I would be happy to offer $200.00 for the preamp. I have a carver amp and my preamp went dead. This would be perfect.
