Members Dan Magers Posted November 7, 2005 Members Share Posted November 7, 2005 A very good elder friend has some old McIntosh tube stuff he purchased new and wants to get rid of it now. Knowing I dealt with sound gear he ask, and I volunteered, to help him find a home for these pieces at a fair price. Anyone know what a mint condition A116 amp and a C108 Pre-amp might be worth?

Members Dan Magers Posted November 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2005 Holy cow! Some of this stuff is up there.
