Hello all,   I need an inexpensive preamp to hold me over for a bit.  No phono...just line level inputs.
Was hoping to get by with something around 50 bucks.  Again, its just a temp thing.
As my subject line hints something like the Gemini pa7000 would work.  Its got pretty decent feedback
for a cheap preamp. OK, stop laughing...I know its a "DJ" geared product but its temporary until I get
time to ebay a bunch of stuff.  Speaking of getting rid of stuff I will be listing a few items on ebay
that may interest you.  If they really interest you and you have a really nice preamp perhaps we can work something out.

*) Nearly complete set of "Glass Audio",  "The Audio Amature", and "Speaker Builder" magazines.
There are just a few issues missing...or so I was told.  Picked up the 3 sets years (!) ago but never
inventoried the bunch.  Original owner listed the missing issues on outside of the boxes.  I honestly
dont know what these are worth.  I figured ebay would dictate the price but lets talk if you have soemthing in mind.

*) Pioneer sx828 receiver.  Very nice cosmetics and works great.

*Headphones: GRADO sr60, Denon, Philips HP910 plus a couple of other Philips (dont have model numbers handy)
Koss PortaPro and SportaPro's.

*) NAD CD player...will get model number later. Works great, sounds nice.

*) ICOM r71a shortwave receiver. Works good.  Top of the line years ago.

*) ICOM r2 scanner/shortwave receiver with cable to program from PC

*) Scott s186 speakers.  Vintage 3-way speakers. Nice Philips tweeters...very smooth. New surronds on woofers.  Drivers work great. Vinyl covering is decent condition.  Sound very nice though.

*) Sigma 180mm "macro" lens.  Autofocus lens for Nikon bodies..digital or film bodies.

*) Bogen (manfrotto) 3021PRO tripod with Gitzo PL5 3-axis head.

I will edit list so check back.

Tom has a Nikko Beta 20, it is a little more than $50, but well worth it. It is a superb pre, and at Toms price a great deal. Build quality is second to none. Sound is fantastic.

I may be interested in the NAD and the Camera lense. What are you asking for them?
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

How much are you asking for the SR60's? Feel free to IM me or email me at Rac8447@calu.edu to discuss it.

Thanks!
