Usually the other bidder comes back later to out bid you...but not always. Thanks. That's what I thought. So far no come back after a day or so but a bit of time left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Seth Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Just in case we forgot that we have quite a few friends of Modular Electronics (ME) amps and such, I present 3 from eBay: ME750 amp (in Bankstown, NSW) ME850 amp (in Townsville, Qld) Appears to be a weather-beaten unit, previously advertised here or on eBay. Whoo! Big boy ME1500 amp. Leichhardt, New South Wales (Audioconnection store) Edited May 9, 2020 by Uncle Seth grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cenatur minors sold for $650 and the other two models, the Stage and the Duetta Sig went for a little over $2000, I can't remember the exact $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Calipers $2,000, Duettas $2,100, Scintillas $1,250 (query re meeting reserve?) miniGrands $2,200 plus $775 for DAX. The Duetta's were the only ones I saw with all the ribbons apparently in reasonable nick. I missed the Calipers as they didn't have stands and were on a table somewhere that I didn't find. The auctioneer obviously had no idea about this gear - eg no idea whether it was "Per" or "Pre" amp. In particular, selling a stereo pair of mono amps seperately and selling the Apogee mini grands with the DAX in a different lot seemed bizarre to me. I wasn't bothered as the condition of the ribbons quelled any interest I might have had. Still, it was interesting seeing this gear again as it used to be owned by a well-known (now late) Adelaide second-hand hifi dealer back in the day. In fact I bought my first pair of Apogee ribbons from him 30 years ago. Edited May 10, 2020 by Tony M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony M Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 20 minutes ago, Darryl said: Was that the bloke in King William St? Yeah, but prior to that he had a little shopfront in Angas Street (IIRC) for decades. When another pair of Apogees got damaged in transit on the way to me from NSW, Audioconnection got him to fix it on their behalf. He operated on the speaker on our pool table and reglued a stray magnet and replaced a treble/mid ribbon. I bought several items from him over the years and even sold some to him. He was always an interesting character to talk to and reasonable and honest to deal with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also states: "These have not been assessed by a technician or had full signal tests. Testing done was by applying power and a Bluetooth receiver to play music on large speakers which have since been sold. The LEDs on the front of the amplifiers lit up and there was undistorted sound/music from the speakers." Not often you see Bluetooth receiver and Krell in the same sentence I'd be a bit dubious myself at the asking price.

betty boop Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 defaulting bidders are a common place on eBay.... especially where shill bids are involved and yes thats a good reason why people turn blind eye to 2nd chance offers... who will accept a 2nd chance offer with pumped up bids 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha_man Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Given the description I would offer him $4000 if in the market for them. They can cost a fortune to repair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
