Arcam FMJ-C31 Stereo Preamp, w Phono + Remote

Arcam FMJ C-31

Arguably one of the best pre-amps made by Arcam  This unit INCLUDES the optional MM/MC phono Stage  ( was a $200 optional add-on )  :  Includes original packing box, Manual and remote control.

I originally had this unit priced at $750 ( Under market value for a unit with the phono stage and remote). I've dropped the price by $100  and it's now $650 FIRM!   Otherwise I'll just keep it as a back up Pre amp.   Read the reviews, check the web,  -   it's a sleeper unit that doesn't show up on the market often.
