SOLD - Aguilar DB680 - £850 delivered in the UK. - SOLD £950

[kevin_lindsay]

Well, this is without a doubt my favourite preamp I've ever used / owned. It's never caused me any issues and sounds great.

So, why am I offering it for sale? The reason is pretty straightforward, I've had a few issues with my back over the last couple of years, so my "big rig" hasn't been taken out. It seems such a shame to have such a great piece of equipment, and not put it to use.

So here's your chance to grab this great condition preamp.

The user manual for the unit can be downloaded from the Internet (just Google "Aguilar DB680 manual")

I'll include the 2U ABS rack in the sale price. It'll make a good housing for delivery, and will allow the new owner to keep the preamp in great condition.

The asking price of £850 includes delivery within the UK.

Here's the Aguilar DB680 in the current roller rack.

The unit features a studio quality balanced output, with 5 selectable gain stages. I also have the footswitch to select between inputs 1 and 2, and also allows for selecting the Mute option while tuning up.

The wiring inside is just so incredibly neat.

A thing of beauty and wonder! Sold mine to buy a Millennia when I realised (following an extended and expensive search) that I prefer SS. If valve pres are your thing, this and the Noble are the two to consider IMO.

Hello weekend browsers!

Love an early start to the weekend! Would love to have this if I could justify another - peerless rackmount valve pre and at an excellent price IMO! An excellent seller too - I need to stop looking - bump

[kevin_lindsay]

Little bump.

[Marcus]

The last word in Bass pre-amps !

I ran one with DB728 for a while with a pair of GS410's

Yeah... that was a tone !!!

[kevin_lindsay]

That must have sounded great - and must have weighed a ton! That all valve power amp.was a tank!

I thought this had gone!! Bummer!

[kevin_lindsay]

On hold!

[eevespete]

Beautiful 😉

[kevin_lindsay]

Bump it up.

[kevin_lindsay]

Hi guys.

The guy who was lookibg to buy this from me in December asked me to hold it for him.Despite each month asking for a further extension, he still hasn't as yet bought it. There's no response to text messages to him now either.

So, this great preamp is still available to anyone interested in grabbing this sought after piece of equipment.

[Krzysztof Ropicki]

Trade for Thunderfunk TFB550A?

[drake]

Surprised to see this still here - wish I still had mine. GLWTS

[kevin_lindsay]

The original buyer still hasn't followed through (although I have new been promised that he will do so during this month - June '17)

[kevin_lindsay]

And after all this time...... The buyer has now paid for the DB680!!! 7 months.

Hope it provides many years of great bass tones in its new home.
