Guest Hensa Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Damn. Was watching this and missed the end of the auction. An absolute dead set steal worth well over double that. Damn again. Exactly! I'd happily pay more than $700 just for the preamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aasza Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 One of the local hustlers would have bought that, expect to see it listed on Gumtree or eBay in the near future for 3-4x the original asking price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansui77 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) $300 would be a bargin depending on condition and any issues. I paid a little bit more for mine but its mint. To see it lit up in real life is a beautiful site. They sounds fantatic and built quality is unbelievable. The front face, all knobs are machined from thick aluminum etc. Fantastic monster receiver from the golden age of 70's hifi.

Jone5y Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) The ME25 and 75 sold for only $625 - a hell of a bargain for someone! He's a very happy man eagerly awaiting it's delivery I think I've read every thread here that mentions an ME25 today - a bit excited I've never owned a dedicated pre before and the only piece of ME gear I've owned previously was the bottom of the rung amp that was a bit rough round the edges. I was as surprised as anyone when it went for so little. Hopefully they are also unmolested by unqualified techs, I'll have him Zaph over them soon and probably (lets face it, inevitably) follow the upgrade path wherever it may lead. SWMBO doesn't know yet, maybe i can slip them into the cabinet, close the doors and get away with the steal...?

They are rather chunky so they may be hard to hide. Be bold, be upfront with her and if that fails beg forgiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Hi Jone5y, Congrats on your acquisition ......but one word of advice. Speak to Zaph one day about the getting the Pre up to latest spec. HUGE improvement. Actually probably a good idea to let him service them both!! Cmon .........you saved a bundle buying them anyway Welcome to the club and happy listening.

Jone5y Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I got notification of shipping at 7am, by 9 I'd started chatting to Zaph about improvements to both the 75 amp (can be upgraded to 75B spec no problem) and the 25 as well. EVERYTHING i've read about upgrading the 25 contains at least one of the oft used audio cliches describing improvement, "night and day" being one of the most prominent :-) I can't see myself enjoying them as they for too long before they are in the experts hands. As for the missus, I do have a plan but if you don't hear from me for a while..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equaliser Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just dress the pre and amp a little make it look like a part of the home furniture or something. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
