Man-o-man, Does anyone know of another M-510 for sale? While at the shop in Baltimore last week a fellow came in with a mint M-510 and the matching pre-amp. Both were beautiful pieces. I tried to purchase it. The fellow told me without a moments hesitation, "No way, at any price". He said that he didn't think it would really stand up to modern, "High-End" amplifiers but still loved it. When I pressed him on what "High-End" amps he was thinking of he had no answer. So I offered him a trade. A new McIntosh MC402 for his vintage M-510. He just smiled and shook his head. So I then offered an Pass Labs X-350 or a set of Krell mono-blocks. I received the same mute answer. He had to know I was serious as he could see the eleven amplifiers I was dropping off for service.
I guess, "just to turn the screws a bit", he then told me that he was indeed the original owner and still, "of course" had all the original boxes, packing, cabling and manuals.
I tried.
Does anyone know what model # the matching pre-amplifier was? I do remember that it's NOT a P-510. I want to say it was a P-389F but found nothing when I looked that number up.
