I recently acquired a Teddy Pardo PR1/MB100s pre/monblocks combination from psd1222 of this parish. I bought them partly for use in a temporary system while I sell off my Naim gear and keep working to find a replacement with a lot less boxes and partly as I had always wanted to try some.
Currently they are hooked up to a CD5X and a set of Allaes. I can report that they are astonishingly good for the money, definitely a good bit better than a Naim 202/200 and not as far off a 52/SC/135s as I thought they would be. Simple to cable up too.
I think I will be hanging on to them for a long time, deployment in the office system eventually I think.
It's just a pity Teddy Pardo stopped making them. Going to try the Neat Motive SX2s with them next and see what improvement slotting my CDS3 in will make.
