edited February 2006 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds


SOLD.

No phono section, three inputs, two out. (Gary Dodd had said via email he could add a phono section if desired). Conservatively rated an 8/10. Reason for sale is my custom pre will finally ship next week. Will ship double boxed, insured, in the original packaging with instructions, remote, original Sovtek 12AX7-LPS and four Baldwin 12AX7 tubes. I purchased this from forum member polkatese back in November. No issues. Forum member’s peersool, Normanality, and McLoki have seen/heard it in action. $OLD HTrookie.

I have 12 positive feedback here, and 100% on Ebay with 132 positives, 60% as seller.

    *drool*

    That's a beautiful pre. Are those white things under the hood the sockets for the tubes?

    Thanks for the kind words. No McAlister pre yet, just a "call you guys Sunday, your pre's are finally ready to ship" email. That means I'll find out the balance owed and will need some cash.

    If he decides to market this pre, it will debut at an upcoming audio show in Montreal, March 10-14. Until then, we (Norm and I) were asked not to reveal too many details about it or post any pictures. We should find out the extent of our NDA on Sunday.

    I'll presume that's not what he meant. It's apples and oranges, as we're talking to completely different pre-amps internally and in design theory. If the Cary 2002 was a simple 3/2 w/ outboard PS, I bet it would look pretty similar.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thank's for you phone call! It was great to talk with a fellow nut! I'm going to continue on with my research as we discussed but in the mean time if anyone has to have it, please go ahead and make their day! I'm not 100% sure I can arrange the $ anyways :rolleyes:

    I have to say I'm kicking myself for letting this slip away! But timing and money are not right for me now. Hope you enjoy it and keep me in mind when you want to get rid of it. At least it's coming to Ohio!

    Tube are a bad thing my friend. I'm pretty sure the FDA is going to issue a heath warning about their addictive nature soon! Maybe even impose taxs on them!

    But thank's for waiting to claim your prize. Hope it makes magical sounds for you. Just how far are you away form Cleveland anyway?

    I'm in the other side of Ohio...Southern border; 20 miles north of Cincinnati.

    Yeah, tubes might be dangerous some people say; this will be my second tube preamp, and a tube amp might be in my future :)

    Thanks Rich; as mentioned in my PM, I have a bunch of planned changes and I am not sure I'll be disciplined enough to do them one by one and slowly as to appreciate the changes (this pre, I got the caps and resistors for crossovers today, and have a DAC that need to hook up...).

    But...I will report Thursday night :)
