Dearly departed Music Reference RM9

The RM-9 MkII that is listed on this site for $2600 is a great deal and worth stretching your budget for. It started out life as a MkI but Roger went all out to update it to a MkII. If it makes any difference we will honor the warranty on that amp. We also worked on pdreher’s amp, which we thought would be a lost cause but Roger put his expertise to good use in getting that amp back to spec at a modest cost.

If as you say you blew a transformer you’re out of luck (curious how that happened, it's difficult to do on that amp), otherwise Roger can fix most anything that is wrong with that amp.

@desktopguy - You did not mention if your RM-9s were Mk I or Mk II. I’ll speak with Roger, but you may have the only ones with the triode/pentode switch. That could push the price up a bit. Realistically, these amps generally go for $1500 - $2000 depending on condition. Those refurbished by Roger generally fetch $500 or so more. Given their age there could be some minor servicing needed (power supply caps mainly) but otherwise these are extremely reliable amps. We have many customers that have owned them since the 80’s.
