March P452 eta

[murraycamp]

Just seeing if @March Audio has an estimate on when the stereo Purifi module amp will be available, and an estimated price.

Thanks!

 

[March Audio]

The order for the cases is going in this week so about another 4 weeks. Price is not finalised yet but I will update very soon.

This one will have a change of case format as we need extra space and to match the forthcoming pre amp. I will try and post a 3d model later.

Cheers

Alan

Thanks Alan. Very much appreciated. Will you be accepting pre-orders?

 

[McFly]

Dimensions of case?

 

[deafenears]

Is that with two Purifi 1ET400A modules? Or is Purifi releasing a stereo module?

Hi @murraycamp

Wasnt really planning to, but email me and I will send info as soon as I have a firm date for release.

 

[March Audio]

Dimensions of case?

Hi @McFly

360mm x 200mm x 75mm

Hi @deafenears

Its 2 1et400A modules.

 

[March Audio]

So very similar to the earlier designs but width is now the largest dimension. Required to fit the 2 Purifi modules but also to match the forthcoming pre-amp which also requires the width for input/output socketry on the rear panel.

Nice design (as always with March Audio!)
what will be its price?

 

[TomJ]

nice, like the side by side layout

 

[Neale]

.... the forthcoming pre-amp which also requires the width for input/output socketry on the rear panel.

just found this thread that answers the question that I asked via PM.

But 'forthcoming pre-amp'?? Please tell us more. DAC, plus some analog inputs? That would be v useful; and even super-useful if it included Bluetooth receiver

 

[jae]

+1 on preamp info. What is the design?

 

[Neale]

'forthcoming pre-amp' ...

Alan .. can we punters suggest what features we want, or are you past that phase?

Phono or not? AES or not? Bluetooth or not? Extra analogs (a must). Balanced outs (a must). 'Pre-amp' of course means volume control and a remote.

 

[March Audio]

I will start a thread when we are nearer but it will not be a dac etc. Analogue device with phono option.

 

[JustJones]

I've always liked a stereo option will it have two power supplies? Like two monoblocks in one chassis? I've been looking at the 451 monoblocks do you expect the 452 to have any advantage/improvements over 451 other than the single chassis?

 

[mikeburns]

Just purchased a 452 this morning! Cannot wait to get it going.

Re: pre amp

Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet?

Seeing as the other thread has since been closed down for some reason I thought I'd let anyone interested in a P452 (or any other March Audio amp) know that we're currently looking at a 6 week lead time on their units.

"lead time is 2 to 3 weeks but that's getting shorter now that we're catching up"

I ordered one on 2nd November, following the above info from Alan. Therefore expecting shipment by the 23rd at the very latest. Have just been informed (after 3 days of incommunicado silence and unanswered email ) that it now won't be shipped until into December (then add shipping time from Oz)

A very disappointing post order change of events. I certainly wouldn't have ordered had this been made clear at the point of order rather than the entirely inaccurate sub 3 weeks line.

Oh well. I'll just have to wait I guess. But thought it wise to let others know.
