OR swap involving ...

a fine preamp with or without a very good MM/MC phono stage / preamp
MC Phono stage (I don't mind owning another Trilogy 907, a DIY Paradise or ...) + money my way.

I have begun talking to dealers in Denmark about trading this in. I won't make a definitive move until after Nov. 1.

 

[Rosewind]

PM replied to.

 

[Rosewind]

Still available until the beginning of November at 2250£.

Trade involving:

A nice 12" tonearm + armpod would be interesting next to my new Empire 698.

Trilogy 907 or Paradise or ...

Tom Evans The Vibe.

Audio Note M3

ARC Reference 3

EAR 868PL / L

Yamamoto CA-03

Audiopax 5

or another very capable preamp

 

[Rosewind]

Last week.

 

[Rosewind]

4 days to go.

12" tonearm is a priority now - or a Trilogy 907 or Paradise + cash.

An SME V-12 would be nice.

 

[Rosewind]

3 days. Then a trade involving a Brinkmann arm may beckon.

 

[Rosewind]

2 days to get your hands on this rare beast.
