That was quick. Sale Pending.

Hi, I'm a long time reader at this forum, seldom a poster, and thought I would let you know that I have a Sansui TU-717 for sale. Highly regarded (17th place out of 84 all time best tuners at fmtunerinfo.com) and in great condition: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?misctunr&1183132974 Price should read: $215 and local buyers are welcom to stop by to see the unit. Thanks for looking and happy listening. Chris

Thanks Paul. I've been a long time browser of the posts here, and have enjoyed learning from you folks. I've never owned any Bose speakers, but if I hear some and am blown away, I'll keep it to myself ;-) Grumpy, I'm definetly interested, but the BB extreme may be beyond what I was thinking of spending. Please let me know if you decide to sell it though; i'm not always able to resist temptation. Chris

Good idea to talk with Mark directly, which I'll do on Monday. It sounded as if some posters might be familiar with upgrades to the standard unit, which sounded interesting. I'll be using the Merlin with two amps (a Belles Reference 150A and a heavily modified Adcom 5802 (mods by John Hillig at Musical Concepts), two CD players (an APL modded Philips SACD 1000 and CAL Audio CL-15), and Quad Speakers. Please don't kick me out because I don't have any Klipschs; I learn a lot from you folks! Chris

Thanks Paul and Scott. Can anyone fill me in on the "upgrades" that a few posters spoke of in reference to the Merlin on Ebay? Also, I was wondering whether there have been any changes to the basic Merlin, before of after the recent price change. Thanks again! Chris

Hi, I'm looking for a Merlin preamp by Juicy Music in excellent condition. If you have one that you are willing to part with at a good price, drop me a note. I'm a new poster to this forum, but have excellent feedback at audiogon. Thanks! Chris
