Well this guy's a fuckwit. He is selling something with a RRP of $1199 (and which I have been offered at $1099) second hand for $1050.
The only reason I didnt buy the one yesterday (in Christchurch FFS) was because I forgot to bid. Though I would have got blown out - I would have ended at $750.
Plus I like VU meters.

I find auctions like that weird - loves it, sad to see it go, only had 6 months, has not even explored it yet ...... but is selling? Maybe can't afford the payments anymore?Originally Posted by HenryDorsetCase
Too expensive as well.

May I be permitted a brief digression?
McIntosh audio gear has a good reputation and having had it in a car I thought I would check it out when replacing my 1960s turntable and amp.
Good news! They are available.
At that time a turntable was $20,000. An amp was a relative steal at only $15,000 but to play vinyl you needed a pre amp - and another $15,000. So that's $50,000 with speakers still to come if required.
I'm not at all unhappy, but needless to say I don't have a McIntosh system in the house.

You're looking at big Macs. Their integrated's have a phono preamp, a lot of the heft of the big gear plus if you like McIntosh you will like them.
Even the baby integrated is like 80-100W a side (real Watts too not pretend). I wouldnt buy a Mac turntable though they do look cool as fuck with that light shining through the platter.
Heres an MA5200 for $7k: https://www.listeningpost.co.nz/Spec...31436__N.26801
Heres an MA8000 for $15k https://www.listeningpost.co.nz/Spec...31436__N.26801
I'd look at some of the big Paradigms and maybe a Rega RP6 - I had a listen to some Sonus Fabers recently and they were great too.
New Zealand manufacturers make some really good mid to high level kit: Perreaux and Plinius. One of my mates has a setup featuring some B & W CM9's, a plinius SA250 and a valve preamp and it is stellar.
I just want an amp with a bit more punch than the 25WPC vintage Sansui I am currently using. those Yamahas are really good bang for the buck.

My hearing is not good enough to warrant fancy shit like that!
I blame motorcycling and marriage
Embracing mediocrity
Yamaha stuff is lovely, my amp was $35 off trademe (OK, I had to fix it, but still) and pokes enough current to blow the tweeters in my kef codas when the daughters friends got a bit carried away at her 21st...
No VU meters though.

I blame being born with rooted ears then finishing it off with 2x 12" subs in my mates mean as Integra doing laps in Hamilton.
I was that cool.

Yeah reallity intrudes. I qualify for free hearing aids, at 100kph on the bike the loudest sound is the tinitus.
On the other hand I'm not married so I can put the speakers wherever I like. An electrician, here to give a quote, told me a lot of the stereos he sees will never sound any good. They've got the magic mega-buck cables and all but there's a china cabinet where one speaker cabinet needs to be and a table where the other one should be, so the speakers are too close together.

All good mate....
If you are not married you have got no need to be able to listen.....
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

Know what you mean....
The volume I use for background music now used to be reserved for partying.....

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Dr650se for $13000. And it’s got stock suspension

WTF - brand new they are $8,995 on Suzuki NZ website. Apparently he has spent a extra $5k on it .............. and cracked the screen on the garage door. How do you do that when the bars are significantly wider?
