Owen Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I just cannot decide between this and my other pre at the moment so both are staying until something changes so I'm afraid this is off the market. I just bought this from Beedster. I am slightly OCD and have to try every pre-amp out there. I could be very happy indeed with this pre-amp. I have spent a happy 2 hours messing with it and it has wrapped me in luscious warmth and punch. So why am I selling? For now my Demeter just (but only just) edges it. It was fun to try, and when you live where I live then picking stuff up like this is the only way to try stuff out in a meaningful way. As I said, I could be very happy indeed with this pre-amp, but I cannot possibly justify having two pre-amps of this value sitting in my house. Need it you know you do. Also putting my Peavey IPR1600 super lightweight power amp and SKB X rack into the mix Edited April 24, 2012 by owen
lozbass Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I think these are basically the front end of a DB750 - if this is the case, paired with a very good power amp, it will be incredibly good! Great price for gear of this quality too.
krispn Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I posted on Beedsters original thread. This is my old pre and its superb! I put the Mullards in it and if you Pm me about swapping for the ones I currently use I gladly sawp you for them Owen ! This is a killer pre and indeed the same front end as in the DB750. Its got a Jensen Di out as used by Radial in their JDI (and reatils for abt £180!!) and a really clever series /parellel effects loop accessible from the front panel. The tone stack while not givng any extremes is just tasteful and useable across its full range. I describe it as you might not like a particular tone this thing makes but that doesn't make it a bad tone! Its still gonna have that valve warmth to it. FYI i dont think there are any 'bad' tones in this thing. I moved it on to downsize but went back to using a valve pre & power amp. Hard to beat that warmth!
Owen Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Neither of you are helping my resolve to not own 2 high end pre-amps. It is lush beyond, but the parametric eq on the Demeter tames my DB.
Owen Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Bump for selling it for real now. The Peavey IPR 1600 boasts 800 watts per channel at 2 ohms and is under 7lbs. Featuring 2 channel independent fourth order Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, a variable-speed fan housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis, DDT speaker protection, and the revolutionary new IPR class D topology. Thanks
Owen Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 I have had a few enquieries about splitting and I would be happy to do that Aguilar £450 Peavey £150 SKB £30 I would trade for a high powered AI head (+£ from me)
Owen Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 I just did a web search and it would appear that I am selling this for 50% of new retail. It is as new and fits snugly in the rack. Need it you know you do.
Jazzer Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Hi Owen, Can I have the SKB 3U X rack please. Have PM'd you
Owen Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 And then there was just the Peavey left. You (yes you), the one who was considering the Peavey/SKB combination. You left it too late.
Owen Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 I was perusing the WWW and it appears that the Peaveys retail at £300 now so in my view this is baragainous!
