Music Reference RM-10mkiii Kit

"I am painstakingly trying to bring my Beveridge RM-1 back to life" I noticed one of those for sale on Craigslist here in L.A. I was trigger shy on it as it was at the limits that I could afford and I knew that it would need work done. I should have bought as they are unicorns. How does it sound, pretty neutral like the other gear?

I wish some rich Silicon Valley audiophile would finance the continuation of these great products from the West Coast heritage of audio technology, I would love to see the Music Reference, Juicy Music, and Klyne (I know he's technically still in business but he has to be in his 80's) still going.

Me too. However, Music Reference is continuing along, it's just going to be a different business model. Ram Tubes is no longer.

Investment requires expectations of future profits based of forecasted sales performance. Investing to keep others in business is a losing proposition.

I bought my RM-9 Mk.2 only a few years back from Brooks Berdan Ltd., one of Music Reference's oldest dealers (Brooks' wife Sheila taking over management of the shop after Brooks' demise). The shop's great tech (I can't seem to recall his name right now) had gone completely through the amp, which was and is bone-stock.

The RM-9 has a more traditional tube sound, the RM-200 a sound that reflects it's mildly-hybrid design (the driver stage is solid state). I have used the RM-10 with QUAD ESL's only, so can't be compared to the RM-9 and -200. The RM-200 works well with Magneplanars/Magnepans.
