I.S.O. Decent quality used pre-amp for home stereo system
Melanie:
My really old Marantz Preamp is got some crunching distortion in my right channel, it's really old, to rebuild is like $400 , anyone got a spare they would be willing to part with? Bob and Melanie

I do, thanks for link. after cleaning all RCA connectors on pre-amp and power amp and re-cabling everything I may have solved the issue, but it's an intermittent problem, just have to keep listening and hope I have resolved the issue. At that price it's certainly something to consider. I have a few shows I've recently recorded so I'll be listening carefully. I found a Phase Linear used for a decent price through Hawthorne Audio in Seattle as well. Hope the Marantz holds up as cash is tight for us as with it is for most of us. Bob

Check out the online Goodwill sales. I believe they ship most items all over the US unless it is too big or too heavy.

Sounds like you're no longer in the market, but for future reference this place usually has a good selection of used stuff: https://tmraudio.com/
