evil c Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Item: Meridian 101B preamplifier / control unitLocation: MelbournePrice: $275 Now reduced to $250Item Condition: 7/10Reason for selling: Too much stuffPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, EFT, COD OnlyExtra Info: This preamp was fully serviced 6 years ago and is in excellent condition for its age. Have all receipts & original manual This is the superior fully discrete circuit model which trumps the op-amp version sonically It is fitted with a moving coil phono module and was a perfect match with a high output Dynavector cartridge I ran through it. Should also be ideal with a MM of around 2 - 2.5mv I am selling with a full set of interconnects - Phono DIN to female RCA, DIN to 4 RCA leads with Van Damme cable (which can be used as tape out) and Teflon coated silver plated DIN to RCA for connecting to a power amp These leads alone cost over $200 Can post at additional cost to buyer - should be around $15 to most statesPictures: Edited July 29, 2014 by evil angelist
evil c Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 My son would love this Would be more than happy to help him! This was when I seriously started to hear what good hi-fi is all about - quality components and construction and ingenious design! This with the 105 monoblocs sold for $2500 in 1977 - huge money back then and I could only dream of affording them on the pittance I earned as a youth around that time As luck would have it a friend picked up the 101/105 combo and I saw the potential and after taking it off his hands I spent mega $$ getting them totally restored including recapping the 105's with Rifa high quality 6800mf caps. However got itchy feet as good as these were and I'd rather move it on than have it sitting around waiting for another project to incorporate it in.
Phantom Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 This looks very interesting, although I have never heard one. I would really love to hear the combination with the mono block power amps too. I remember my dad telling me how that combination were really the bees's knees back in the day but he never got to own them. All the best with the sale. 1
Telecine Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Tempting! I have a pair of Meridian M2 Active speakers that have the 105 amps built in. 1
Sir Rab of Everest Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Tempting! I have a pair of Meridian M2 Active speakers that have the 105 amps built in. I have fond memories of the M2s with a Kenwood LO7D turntable, but way out of my budget at the time! 1
Telecine Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I have fond memories of the M2s with a Kenwood LO7D turntable, but way out of my budget at the time! They are a sweet sounding speaker that images very well. Sadly, mine are relegated to a lesser system.
