Good price on Acurus L10

[WOPL Sniffer]

Great price on an Acurus L10 for Christmas. No RL-11's available but if you don't care about a remote, here is pretty much the same Pre.

It is a shame that Acurus cheaped out and moved to those small knobs instead of the original billet knobs...

I agree for sure. The RL-11 looks GREAT the way they did the knobs. BUT, if the L-10 is laid out inside like the 11, I guess for the price I could deal with it.

Is that stock or did you put the new caps in? Gonna do the PS too? They are nice and clean inside. I haven't seen inside of mine yet.

There is nothing wrong with it besides ugly knobs, why would you do that to a perfectly good pre???

The Acurus has proven guts

I see somebody snagged it...... Anybody here buy it?

The Aragon is the Acurus in a nicer box and external power supply.

Ugly works for me, listening to the modded L10 right now. I'm in the sound business here, not into jewelry and fashion!

Totally stock - I only had the cover cleaned up and powder coated

I was planning to leave it stock, as it sounds great. I'm open to suggestions if you know any improvements - aside from the major rework stuff I had seen in some earlier threads. Was not planning to mess with this box.

Years ago a friend GAVE me an Acurus A250 that was at one of his client's houses as a spare amp....as in unused. Now they're working together as intended.
