Dodd Audio ELP

[unc2701]

Yep, I'm probably end up kicking my own ass for this, but I'm moving on to an MF CD-pre and selling the ELP.

$350 plus shipping I'll eat the paypal cost.


Original Box
3 inputs
2 pairs Jan Philips NOS 6922 tubes (one blue pair, one green pair, never used)
One pair blue Jan Philips (~200 hours)
Maybe one pair Stock tubes (can only find one of the two...)
Has scratches see photos below


Ok, the bad news is that my cat put some scratches on the faceplate. They're pretty fine and there's only one that you can see from a distance, but I'll have pictures up around noon today.

[zombie boy 2000]

I give this about 10 minutes..

[unc2701]

Nah, this place is always dead on Fridays... plus I gotta get the pics up

:)

[dkg999]

If it doesn't sell in under 2 hrs, this place is nuts. This is the perfect introduction to tube pre's. I love the one I bought from Noel. You can't much cheaper or better than this.

But it doesn't have a remote (in my best whiney voice) ........ get off your ass when you need to change the volume ....... do it old school :rolleyes:

Damn. I thought I paid $425 for it, not $450.

Anyhow, here's the pics... There are three scratches- two fine ones going vertically (one just left of the mute switch and one just left of the power) and the third is horizontal above the volume (see second pic). That one can be seen from a good distance.

PM if you need high-rez versions of these.

Nice Gallos. Let me know how you like the MF. What model(s) did you get?

[unc2701]

The gallos? They're Ref 3's (tweeter switch on the back vs none on the ref 3.1's).

The MF is their integrated CD/preamplifier/DAC/ADC. It was either dump at least $600 per component into a CD & DAC, plus IC's and I would be short on inputs for the Dodd. The CD-Pre made the most sense.

[Shizelbs]

Anyone who has $350, can do seperates and wants to do tubes, this is the time to do it. If you don't, shame, SHAME on you.

[steveinaz]

bad, bad kitty!

You guy are killing me. The only thing stoping me is the tranny went on car. Somebody needs to grab it.

You always have an excuse!

Remember these. . . Monday, hold this amp for me please till Friday. . . Thursday morning, I don't like the nicks on the amp, Thursday night, my wife won't let me, Friday morning, no reply at all. You're full of shit!

[audiobliss]

Oooh. I was really really really tempted for a second. Then I remembered I don't think it has enough inputs.

[zombie boy 2000]

3 inputs are not enough????

[hearingimpared]

Been visiting the Hun.net too often lately???:D

I had no idea what you were talking about. So I just put that in the addy to see where it sends me. Thanks ya bastage... I am at work, you know:D

Wow, I thought thehun.net was a well known free site. . . don't make a mess at work bro!!!:D :D :D

Sorry for the derail.

[Ricardo]

back on topic.....is this still here? How many times do you see a Dodd for that price??? Unbelievable...

[unc2701]

Hehe. Now I get the joke... better watch it- you're gonna corrupt audiobliss.

Anyhow, 3 inputs should be more than enough for anyone (in BOTH senses)... I just want to loop out & back in to my whole house system.


and, yes, as of 2:18pm, its still here.

[reeltrouble1]

Unc, man this thing should be already gone, great little pre.

Hell, Gary Dodd can put any kind of output you want on it, not much dough either. Mine had two outputs and a HT pass on it before I moved up to the MLP.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Thursday was apparently the answer, that's why no reply Friday. But I guess your life is perfect so nobody should have a reason for anything. God Bless you with your perfect life consider it your blessing and that mine is humbled.

[Ricardo]

Probably one of the few pieces that you will see selling at/close to the original MRSP....

You were full of shit starting from your bogus request on Monday. . . it's not the first time! Hmmmm your typing seems to have improved too. Jagoff.

[audiobliss]

MRSP? What's that?

:confused:

If I didn't know Mom would kill me...I would probably grab it.

[AndyGwis]

Engtaz, that is easily the longest post I have every seen you make.

Great Pre, BTW! I have not interest, just dumping another useless comment on someone else's FM thread :)

Normally, I don't condone these back& forths, but today I'm thinking, "Bumpity bump, bump bump."

[audiobliss]

*sigh*

Ok, ok. If it's still available, I'll buy it. Hopefully I can sell off something else to make up for the funds.

Remember I have not treated you badly but I guess you show your class.

[zombie boy 2000]

Way to go Audiobliss!!
You shan't be disappointed.

[marvda1]

i had one of the 6 elp that gary made with the outboard transformer and sold it for $500.

[unc2701]

Remember I have not treated you badly but I guess you show your class.

SALE PENDING to AB, but you guys just carry on without me.

[engtaz]

Sorry about that I did not start anything.

[hearingimpared]

Remember I have not treated you badly but I guess you show your class.

Yeah you have! You asked a seller to hold an item til you got "paid on Friday." It was held and other buyers were turned down for four days. You reneged because it was an impulse buy and you didn't have to balls to admit it. Instead you started coming up with bogus excuses. The other buyers went off on their own so the seller was stuck.

You're a liar and your word is useless!

Class? What do you know of class?

I will never hold an item or sell you anything ever again!

Tell me this didn't happen, tell me that you didn't try to get the item again a while later with another bogus ploy with some PMs?

Your word is empty and useless.

[george daniel]

did I miss something :confused:

Not on this thread! I got tired of seeing engtaz make these bogus excuses and useless posts and called him on the carpet for it from another thread.

I sincerely apologize unc for using your thread to call him down.

cool, :D I love it

[unc2701]

Hell, I don't care- you two kept this thread at the top of the flea market all day

:D :D :D

[george daniel]

Well, someone is getting one sweet little pre, I got mine from RT1, loaned it to my brother,and still have not got it back.;)

[Willow]

Nice snag AB..that's a beauty !

[audiobliss]

Thank you! I'm definitely excited about it! I'm not happy I'll have to get a phono pre to go along with it to continue my foray into vinyl, but it should be worth it.

I'm planning on running my ASL Wave 8's with it.

[Willow]

One day when we get settled in the new house and buy furniture, I'm going to get some tube gear..

[audiobliss]

You better make good on that! It's a move you won't regret, imo.

Even if you can't tell one bit of sonic difference...they just look so cool!!! :D:D

[hearingimpared]

Dude for someone who was out not long ago, you are doing very well!!!

[audiobliss]

Hahahahaha, thanks. I just don't think I can bear to part with it all. Yes, I'd like to change a lot (everything except for my CDP and, now, preamp, actually), but I just don't think I can really quit audio. Not even for a year or so.

And I've been doing just fine borrowing my friend's shotgun, so I don't really *need* to buy one myself.

Joe, you've also got an email from me. Hope you get it.

Got it Mike.

[sda2mike]

Wow! usually, AB just posts his droolings for the rest of us droolers! Nice to see you snagged a sweet piece of tube gear! Enjoy! and give us your review!:cool:

[audiobliss]

Thanks! I'm sure I will enjoy it!

[starchaser]

I. I passed on RT1's = Big Mistake

II. I thought I could not afford BearDogs = Bigger Mistake

III. I perceived a midlife crisis and bought a motorcycle= no comment

IV. I stayed away from CP awhile and missed another ELP

V. I need help - Though I do have a BIA LP on the way!!! = I'm OK now.

VI. Cleary the Lord has one very special pre in mind for me?

VII. The Lord had I, II, and IV. in mind, I did not listen.

VIII. Lord, should I sell my injury inducing motorcycle and buy audio gear?
Awaiting responce from the big guy.

What is Roman numeral 9, #9, #9, was that a beatle tune?

X. Audiobliss is rewarded as he makes good decisions.

ENJOY!!!

[george daniel]

Anytime you see an ELP listed here,at these prices,the first thing you should do is "click reply". Not only do they look cool,, they are just too sweet ! ;)

[audiobliss]

starchaser - I think you should spend less time galavanting about chasing those dadburn stars and pay closer attention to the FM!

:p

[starchaser]

You are absolutely correct audiobliss..

say, has anyone gazed upon the night sky and viewed the planets of... i mean, fine day to hit the board!

George, I have seen the light.. i'll borrow Teds MLP after PF "just for a demo" and return it to him right away. He's gone batty anyway and wouldn't miss it!
