winchester21 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 So my buddy calls me who knows that I like Mac stuff tells me about this 500.00 mac preamp on a open box list at a local Mac dealer. I have been in the store several times and nobody has said jack to me about it. So I call and they still have it. So I go tearing over there and the thing is like new!!! A customer had several pieces of equipment that were extras- apparently he had a lot of stuff and hardly ever used this one. Now hard up for cash he decided to dump it cheap for a fast sale. Wanted a private sale for cash- no ebay. I called Terry Dewick and he said to buy it ASAP by all means- a killer preamp several clicks above what I had. I love my C28 but this thing is sooooo quiet and smooth. I need to get my hands on a manual and see what all this other stuff does-what is a compandor???- The thing also had a perfect case/ panlock. The guy paid 3400.00 for it at this store a few years back. the only other one I saw on e- bay was priced at 1800,00 and had glass issues. I had seen this online earlier and blew it off because I did not know what it was. Sometimes it pays to take your time and pay attention to these closeout lists. I cant believe this amp was still there at this price. If anyone has any comments about this preamp I am all ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
