**SOLD**

Musical Fidelity A3CR (later, all silver version) Preamp. I am the original owner and I purchased the unit from Upscale Audio. Aside from dust, this preamp is in PERFECT condition. Comes with MF remote, Cardas dust caps on unused inputs, manual, and box. CONUS only, Money Order only (checks OK from well-known members). This preamp is well known and highly acclaimed. Search the web, positive reviews are everywhere. It weighs about 35lbs and it's built like a tank--full dual mono topology to include seperate power supply sections for each channel. Inputs include: Phono; Aux; CD; SACD; Tuner; Tape. Class "A" rated by Stereophile magazine.

The first 2 pics are just stock photos to show the style front/rear and internals; 3rd pic is the actual unit--again, it's pristine. Original retail for this piece was $1,495.00.

Manual: http://www.musicalfidelity.com/manuals/archive/a3crpre_eng.pdf

$700 shipped (keep in mind shipping will cost me approx $40)

    What are you planning Steve? I thought this would get in the grave with you...

    If this had two sets of outputs I'd be putting it against my Belles; I could get some money back.

    I'm really apprehensive about selling mine, that's why the price is firm. Not giving this one away...

    Thanks
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I have decided,,,there is something wrong with me.

    FYI:
    Right now I have 2 folk's considering the preamp. ND13, and Nikolas812. Noel chimed in first--so he'll get first crack at it. Nik, you're next in line...

    No one has made a solid commitment.

    I'll get third in line. I just had a bite on my Dodd pre. If I move that one and nobody else moves on yours, then I'll take it.

    I am in the process of comeing to an agreement with Phuz on his Dodd.


    Even if Phuz and I don't come to an agreement I am still going to go Tube Pre instead of SS.


    So count me out.


    Thanks for your consideration Steve.
