After much soul-searching, I've decided I'm just not going to use my Empeg any more. It's been brilliant, but the time has come

So, my Mk2a empeg (serial #10101946) is now up for sale. It's fitted with a Eutronix irDA output and comes with a single 80GB hard drive installed. The blue lens is fitted, but I have the other colours (yellow, red and smoke) as well.

The cage is complete. I have removed a number of the wires, but still have them (with connectors) so they can be rethreaded into the loom if necessary

There is a PCATS tuner as well. I've never used it (bought on the spur of the moment), but will happily run it up to confirm it's working

What else...? Oh yes, soft carry case, charger, USB and serial leads, original packaging, and so on.

There is also a spare unit with a dead IDE interface. Screen is in perfect condition, so it's useful for spares if nothing else!

Pricewise, I'd have said:
  • 80GB Empeg £250
  • PCATS Tuner £50
  • Spares Empeg £50

Call it £325 all in?
Or make me an offer - this stuff has to go

Richard

irDA is a stock factory feature of the empeg. You must mean something different.

Cheers

Good point, sorry - I meant optical digital not irDA. The Empeg has both RCA outputs and an optical digital output. I used this to feed an Alpine PXA-H700 processor and was amazed at the sound difference.

Now of course, if I'd done this with irDA, it wouldn't have sounded anywhere near as good!

No interest at all? Or am I just being unrealistic with the price?

If you're willing to split out the "spares empeg" I'll take it at £50

email me at....... [email protected]

Cheers, Sim

PS: your other prices look fine, I'd take the lot if I had the spare cash. Just be patient and if all else fails go eBay.

Thanks for the feedback
Have mailed you about the spares Empeg - it's all yours if you want it

Rest of it's still up for sale guys. Or, if the price is a little much for people's blood, I can put a smaller HDD in the player and knock some pennies off the price?
