SMARTPLAY Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I’ve been reading through quite a few threads but can’t seem to get a sense what my amps would be worth to put up for sale. Any advice for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice for me? Nope. We have no idea what amps you have. ME preamps were manufactured from around 1977 through to 2003 and in 6 different variants. Later models, fitted with MC phono stages and remote control are worth considerably more than earlier, non-upgraded models. Weston Acoustics builds four different variants of the Time Machine, ranging from $2,995.00 ~ $6,995.00. And, as usual, condition of the products, along with original packing material, manuals, etc, will make a significant difference to the value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTPLAY Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have no idea of its age - but wouldn’t one send it to @Zaphod Beeblebrox to make it new?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTPLAY Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Ok. Will do. Just to satisfy my curiosity - what are you looking for? I hoped the s/n model would contain info? They are not in my house. I can try for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you listened to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTPLAY Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 It used to go into powered speakers. I do not own a power amp, so the pre amp doesn’t do anything for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTPLAY Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 @Zaphod Beeblebrox has got me thinking... Should I keep the ME14, add an ME850 and use this for a future ML5 ? Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you keep the ME14 send it to Zaph to be serviced/upgraded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
