FS: Darlington MP-7 and Nagaoka MP-500

Hi all,

I'm getting out of the vinyl game and so I have my phono pre and phono cart up for sale. I am the first owner of both of these, and they've been kept in a smoke and pet free environment.

Darlington MP-7: Darlington's top of the line phono model, with mono switch included and the capacitance set to 22pf. This is a b-stock unit but I never noticed whatever might have caused it to be classified as b-stock. This unit has some serious voodoo, as it lessens the volume of pops and crackles without impacting depth, clarity, or resolution, all of which are among the best I've heard in any phono under $2k. Selling this for $425 including shipping.

Nagaoka MP-500: Nagaoka's top of the line cartridge, a moving iron design that allows you to replace the stylus like you can on moving magnet cartridges. I tried several MC and MM cartridges in the past and this offered the best of both worlds, the rich tone and prodigious low end of a great MM and the resolution of a great MC. I think it's all the cart anyone would ever need, personally. Selling this for $525 including shipping. SOLD on the Steve Hoffman Forums

If you want both I will knock $50 off the price for $900 including shipping.

CONUS only. Friends and contributors preferred and will get priority. Pictures available upon request. Thanks for looking!

 

These are great deals from a great Pyrate! I can vouch for the stellar quality of the MP-7. Serious voodoo, indeed.

GLWS!

 

Both of these sold on the Steve Hoffman Forums, @shotgunshane @jexby please close.
