Questions for the seller
I keep trying to make an offer, but it freezes up. Audiogon will not let me go through the offer process. I don’t know what else to do.
Go to your login page with wadia150 in upper right corner. Click on down arrow and then on Help. Scroll down to Promoted Articles and click on How do I contact support. When I sent them a message they responded within a few minutes. Good luck!
I made an offer but audiogon will not work. After I make an offer it freezes up when I get to the confirm order I’m offering you $1150.00 for the amp. It will need a full recap at $700 plus shipping. I just got off the [filtered] with Ayre. I will be using a credit card. Regards, Wadia150
Please clarify offer. Audiogon is responsive to requests for technical assistance with web site issues. I have no way to accept payment by credit card.
Sorry, one last question. Can you tell me what the exact dates were or do you have a receipt for the amplifier when it went to back to Ayre for the upgrades and checkup. Was it in the last five years? If so, did it get a clean bill of health with the main capacitors.
The last time the unit went back to Ayre was at least 15 years ago. You can see the serial number on the posted photo if that helps. It was purchased from Nicholson's hi-fi, which has since gone out of business, in Nashville TN. I used the unit in my system with AR LS22 preamp and Theil CS 1.5 speakers until recently, and there has been no audible degradation of performance. I recently replaced my entire system, but the Ayre was the last component I replaced when my dealer sold me a 4 yr old Bryston 4B cubed for a great price. It now drives a Bryston BR-60 preamp and Perlisten R5T speakers. Please restate your offer.
I’m really interested in your amp. Could I trouble you to take pictures of the inside too Regards Wadia150
Photos of inside and unscratched top are posted. Thanks for your interest.
What upgrades were done and when. Also can I get pictures of heat sinks. Are there any visible scratches Thanks Wadia 150
Two upgrades were done several years ago, and as far as I know no other upgrades were offered. I forget the technical details, but I think they involved the power supply. I know I sent the amp back to Ayre on two occasions. I will post pictures of the inside.
