I have a B&K Ref 5 S2 2 channel pre amp that I would like to offer up for the asking. I'm the original owner but not sure where the manual is. It has been a good year for me and wish to share some of my good fortune.

So, throw your name in and I'll pick from the original box on the 6th of February.

    whoa, Gordon. Not in, but this is the best Karma so far.

    What are you replacing it with?

    nm, saw that you have all MAC gears.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Holy moly! Can't pass this by. In please.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    In please...........my pre is in for repairs and not sure when I'll get it back or if it can be fixed. This is a very, very nice Karma gesture.

    Dude, that's not how this works.

    The man is offering a Karma. It's pretty much a "giveaway" deal, no strings attached. You throw your name in the hat, he has a drawing and the name he pulls gets a B&K pre-amp. You don't have to exchange anything, nothing is expected in return.

    Karma - One's acts considered as fixing one's lot in the future existence. (Theos.) The doctrine of fate as the inflexible result of cause and effect; the theory of inevitable consequence.

    Basically, the Karma is offered as either a settlement of good fortune in the spiritual sense to make things right like in passing it forward. Or the karma is offered as a sense of adding goodwill to the community and providing a bonding experience for the members.

    By the way, be clear that this is not an amplifier but rather a pre-amplifier. there is no amplification stage on this unit.





    Oh and IN PLEASE! Hope it's still got the remote. They tend to go missing so easily for most people.
