As we know the floods in Lismore (and beyond) have been devastating. Our friends at Living Entertainment North Coast were unfortunately very impacted by this which you can read more about here. Over $20,000 has now been raised by friends, industry members, and of course StereoNET's community, to which they are very grateful.

 

@Cogworks have also generously come to the party, offering up a Trinnov Amethyst High-end Flagship Preamplifier for auction to StereoNET's members. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Gofundme fundraiser for LENC. Big thanks to Cogworks for this very generous offer.

 

 

The retail of the Amethyst is $15,995, and you can read more about it here: https://www.trinnov.com/en/products/amethyst/

Having owned one myself I can attest to its capability and versatility - it's the ideal tweakers pre-amp!

 

 

The process is simple. You can post your bid here in the replies below. Once the bidding slows I'll post a 1 hour warning, and the highest bidder gets it!

I'm quite relieved... I really don't need to be changing everything wholesale around a new pre-amp just now. You just know getting this will lead me into another $5-10k of other upgrades...

This is a generous place, won't be surprised if this goes for retail

@$16K RRP the bidding here is $8K which is half of RRP, so there is a very long way to go for a truly worthy cause

Blown away all! Amazing.

$8K is the highest bid so far. I don't imagine this auction lasting too much longer.

$8k is a steal. It's taking an awful lot of self-control here not to have another tilt at it...

Just a heads up, this auction will end this evening. We're all blown away by the contributions here, thanks once again!

Still a few hours to get those bids in!

A power amp auction would be awesome, if any site sponsor would like to contribute as well...

1 Hour (not quite) warning. This auction will end at 8PM AEDT this evening!

Can we have Altitude auction as well 😃
