Dearly departed Music Reference RM9

I'v been trying to email Music Reference for awhile with the address on the website with no response. I need repairs done to my RM 5 mk iii, anyone have updated contact info?

A few weeks ago I called the number listed on the MR website, and Roger answered. Call in the morning. If you’re in S. California, the tech at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia (a long-time Music Reference retailer) is very familiar with Roger’s designs, and does excellent repairs (he also works on VTL, Jadis, and just about all tube electronics). His name is Tom, and he works on Wednesdays and Saturdays (his fulltime job is as a maintenance/service engineer at a radio or TV station---I forget which!---in L.A.).

dmann201, the email from the MR website is rarely monitored by Roger. If you want to reach us use the following email: tubeaudiostore@gmail.com.

Just seeing this (by now 15 month-old) thread. I hope someone will see this reply.

I actually own 2 RM9s (the original model). I got them used (perfect condition) in late '80s. Used 1 for 3 years; never actually used the other. Both have EL34s; 1 also has KT88s. 

~'89 I paid Roger to modify both amps by making each of the 4 power tubes triode/pentode switchable (these are 4 physical switches). Once i heard the RM9 in triode I never went back to pentode. It was kind of funny...I loved the pentode sound, was never dissatisfied in the least. But when I heard triode (so rich/dimensional/3D), there was no going back.

In 1991 I moved to a house that would not accommodate my rather large audio system. So these 2 RM9s (as well as a VTL Ultimate preamp & Vandersteen 4s) have been in a closet ever since.

Does anyone have a clue what either of these RM9s would be worth? One of these days I have to do something about this stuff...

the Vandy 4 are probably a local pickup only type sale as shipping those beasts will be serious trucking €
parts are for the most part unobtainable also....I see people trying to get $600-$800 every now and then
