SOLD - Music First Audio V2 Classic Silver Wound passive pre amp.

[Fourlegs]

SOLD - This is my own Music First Audio Classic V2 Silver Wound passive pre amp.

After owning the Baby Classic, Classic V1 copper and then the Classic V2 copper I bought this silver wound V2 new in 2016 and it was the best of the lot by a mile. I have owned a number of active pre amps including some very nice valve pre amps and the Music First is just so much nicer than all of them with better transparency depth.

I am only selling to move up in the Music First range. There is very slight marking to the top plate on the edge but the front face is completely unmarked.

Comes complete with case.

Bargain price for a V2 silver wound. Price includes UK delivery by next day tracked DHL courier.

Payment by transfer, Paypal or cash.

Happy for collection near Melton Mowbray and also to demonstrate.

beautiful and a great price too . some years ago i upgradeded my silver mark 1 classic to a silver wound mark 2 at a pretty hefty cost i can tell you. the improvement was not subltle !!

Does anyone have an idea how this would compare to a baby ref V1?

 

[hifinutt]

its not as good !! but then the baby v1 s/h costs at least another 1000 pounds if not more . 

this v2 classic though is absolutely brilliant , don`t hang about because they don`t come up all that often and one of the dealers is charging nearly this price for a classic mark one version .

here you go , a copper mark one classic for 100 quid less !

it would cost at least 600 quid i think to send this back to jonathan to be upgraded to nicks one [ been a long time since i did this so prices may have changed for upgrades ]

Phil, thanks for your ever useful knowledge, I have to admit to zero experience with TVCs; Emporium have a 2020 refurbished black finish ref v1 at the sort of money you suggest hence my question. I have recently made a massive change to my main system in that I had to part with my much loved 2905s and have replaced them with ATC SCM50ASLTs but my current BAT V5i pre amp has more gain than the active speakers need so I'm investigating alternatives with limited gain. The VK5i sets an extremely high standard even if it limits control because of the gain it introduces.  My one concern with this pre amp is the description on the front panel does not identify the exact model, something that I expect music first could easily resolve but I would want sorted to proceed, I understand that I am second in line behind fourlegs for the item he wants to upgrade to though agreed that is a considerable additional outlay that I would prefer not to stretch to. Fourlegs can you pm me to discuss a way forward thanks - Ward
