B&K Pro 10 MC Preamp

edited October 2008 in The Clubhouse
Got home from Polkfest with so many goodies that now I don't have enough space in my closet.

So to make some space and to share some good karma, here's a very nice B&K Pro 10MC preamp.

I bought it from someone here (sorry...I don't remember right now). It sounds VERY good, and it has a very nice phono stage (MM/MC). The only flaw I can think of is that the light on the switch is not working; not a big deal.

Open to ALL polkies that have joined the forum before October 1st 2008.

Karma ends Sunday 26.

    I'll go in on this. I have a Hafler preamp, but always looking to play around with components.

    If I win, whichever I choose to stop using would be Karma-ed here, of course.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I had a Pro10MC and really liked it. It's got a great tone and is much better than the Sonata series.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Awesome Karma in Please. I could use a pre upstairs, and would love to have something I can compare to my DIY pre.
    Thanks

    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.

    It was a hard choice between this one and the Dynaco PAT 4 I got from you.....but owning that Dynaco is way too cool, plus, it sounds pretty good ;)
