What is "low ball"
When I list something, I put free shipping and no paypal fee with price firm. This blocks out all lowballers without saying no lowballers. I have always sold listing this way. I think it takes more balls to ask for the buyer to pay for paypal.

Quicksilver makes two models, remote and non remote. I have owned both and I like the non remote better,it uses 12ax7 tubes,the remote uses 6dj8 tubes. You can get these preamps used for about $600.

Replace pre-amp
BTW the model is the Perseaus $1895 new. There are a few listed here used for a lot less.

Check out Rogue audio. They make nice tube preamps with phono in your price range.

If you change the sub-chassis you will have to get armboard. Take a look at the MK3's for sale on this site and you will see what I am talking about. The jr has a one piece plinth and can't be put on that steel sub-chassis. If it was my $1000 to s...

That is definitely a MK3 platter. Also a MK3 table has a separate arm board and a steel chassis under the plinth. You have a great table. Spend your money on another upgrade. Tonearm?
