Hi, I am a new member here but I am a member of many guitar forums and a Moderator for a diecast collecting site

I have a Hafler Excelinear XL600 power amp and I plan to sell it since I have recently upgraded to a Mark Levinson 333 and a Krell KRC-3 preamp

My question is what would be a fair price to ask for it, it is in nearmint condition, I am the original owner and it has only been used to drive a pair of Infinity SM150s

For those who are not familiar w/ the amp, it is rated at 305w per channel at 8ohms, 500w at 4ohms, 750w at 2 ohms and bridgeable to 900 watts at 1ohm

I believe it was the most powerful amp offered by Hafler though I am not sure

Any advice appreciated

Thanks!

Ron

    I believe that amp is the same, or very similar to the DH500. However, they seem quite rare, so I would assume that it would get a little premium over that of a Dh500 just on the rare factor alone.

    DH500's go for about 300 - 500 depending on condition (I just picked up a second one for 280.00, but that was kind of an aberation.

    either way, cool amp.

    Thanks, I wish I had all the gear I used to have :)

    The diecast site link is: http://www.diecastlive.com/v2007/index.php?name=ForumsPro

    I am the Redline section Moderator and my girlfriend also is a Mod there. If you are a diecast collector, it's a nice relaxed place to visit. I will be adding a Model Train section soon. Nice group of people, just like here. You are more then welcome to join if you'd like!

    I collect Hot Wheels redlines mainly but also dabble w/ HO train and slotcars

    My main hobby is vinyl, I have a bunch that I need to get rid of, they take up a lot of room. I am concentrating on a final priority list now for the collection that I am keeping

    If anyone is interested, maybe I can get a list together. I have a bunch of sealed and open EX+ to -M classic rock, hard rock metal, WLPs, 45's etc... Some older stuff also, I am 42 and play lead /rhythm guitar, mainly classic rock, hard rock and heavy metal of course :) . I am a big fan of Baroque Organ also believe it or not. I really dig the Ventures also! My listening tastes are pretty extreme!

    Believe it or not, I use an old calibrated automatic Sony PS X-55S w/ a Grado cartridge. I like it much better then my Beogram which is in need of a cartridge anyway and I refuse to pay $250 for a new one!!! I would not get rid of the Sony for anything LOL. There is a lot of good old equipment that is out there that won't break the bank and offers satisfactory performance. I run a dbx filter between it and the preamp and have no ground problems or annoying hums. She sounds great!

    Thanks for the welcome all!
