Last price drop. If it doesn't sell soon I'll hook it up to a lightweight power amp and just sound great myself.

 

The clearout continues...

Surely one of the best preamps around, I've had this a number of years but just not used it recently.

Its never missed a beat and is in very good cosmetic condition apart from the left hand (as you look at the front panel) mounting flange which was slightly bent by the previous owner. It doesn't affect the integrity of the casing or mounting and is barely noticeable particulalrly in a flight case which is where I have kept it since I bought it. There are also a few extremely minor surface abrasions on top/bottom.

 

...or you can get a new one for 2,790 Euros (today = £2,423.27) from https://www.station-musicshop.de/epages/64398533.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=50587199.

I know! I'm robbing myself! Why not take advantage of my stupidity for an early Christmas present?

Free power lead with every purchase.

 

Collection or meet up in London/East Sussex/West Kent. Postage an option but would need to find out cost.IMG_20231101_141558407_HDR.thumb.jpg.725f170a35e0a418b3c9f9052d3049b8.jpgIMG_20231101_141714203.thumb.jpg.6ae6f5ee268cdaf13ebbf112fde19f13.jpgIMG_20231101_141623746_HDR.thumb.jpg.5bad38163d7ed65ef096e882f33585bd.jpgIMG_20231101_141640434_HDR.thumb.jpg.e90147bd52e75e3741364a39821dcc09.jpg

 

 

Nestling up to my BBE BMax T which will also be up for sale:

Higher end pieces of kit often have an input transformer that is switchable between 110v or 230v for US and UK/EU markets. Different manufacturers have different ways to achieve this - the most convenient is a simple toggle switch, but sometimes it’s an internal procedure.

Apologies, I didn’t really make my first post very clear. When I had a look at the images (shot of the rear of the pre), the unit appears to be set to operate at 117v. I wasn’t sure if this could be adjusted easily (and internally) or whether a transformer is required. Sometimes the internal adjustment is as simple as removing the fuse holder module and spinning it around.  However, the images of the jumpers from Alembic make all perfectly clear. Thanks too to paul_5 for the clarification.

Despite some interest here (and I'd always try selling on Basschat first) no concrete offers materialised. This has now sold elsewhere.

To assist potential future sellers of Alembic F-1X units in valuing the sale price I got was £650 plus shipping (minus sale site commission).
