    I have the same amp, so I am not a potential buyer. But I am still curious. The guy advertises it with the Remote :confused: There is no such thing as "IT Reference" AFAIK (the fact that the guy is moving to a Krell is even more suspicious of course:) but I will say no more here). And as always collection is preferable from no mans land. There is something about this ad that makes me suspicious. Am I right or paranoic?

    not sure - but if I was to buy it then cash on collection would be a must... :)

    Such a dodgy listing - and it has already clocked £2,000. Someone is in for a big surprise I am afraid...

    yeah, and Krell - it is the most telling thing isn't it? You may forget that you own amp has no remote, but moving to Krell - you has to be seriously remote from hi-fi :).

    I hadn't noticed the negative feedback on the Naim Amp comment previously has this been added since the first post?

    Very very suspicious now & should be caught in the act
