    See other threads. Liquidation. I was actually about to buy a Gold before some serious crap happened.

    Selling one Zodiac+ unit purchased from Sweetwater, actually Marcel at Anteleop shipped this one direct to me, after the 1st one has a USB issue. GREAT DAC as you know.

    Yes, and yes.

    Do you have feedback anywhere?

    Tighter bass, and less hash out of speakers with Wellborne, but someone has claimed it.

    thanks!

    You want doc to be clear, which is okay, yet you don't answer direct questions? Do you have feedback?

    Good luck Doc, hope everything is okay? I just over-extended myself on an integrated, so can't help with anything, GLWTS!

    You're right, i am a newbie here because Zodiac+ attracted me, therefore i am not so much familiar with [Member Sales Rating] meaning.

    So that i am thinking who/how can guarantee this trade going ok.

    He is a great seller with good feedback. If he wasn't he wouldn't be selling here. Also has great audiogon feedback. You on the other hand, have none and also you want to keep offers etc to a PM.

    Price drop to 2K shipped insured in USA.

    thanks to all interested in this thread.

    I'm going to listen to yet another world class system soon here in Tampa, that will have to do for now, until I can rebuild. I really may pick up another Mini-Torii, those things are so unique imo.

    I will vouch for drcilantro 100%. I have been to his home and heard the Antelope-all his gear is top shelf and cared for obsessively. No worries with this guy or his gear.

    Seriously? come on. He's got nothing to prove. You are the only one in question. Anyone can shell out paypal money and retract it. If I were dealing with you, I would accept nothing short of a USPS MO, and only after I verified the SN with your local PO and cashed it would I ship.

    If you pay, you will get your item... simple as that. People don't stick around here as long as doc and have as much positive feedback if they're scammers. This is a pretty good community. When you deal with people here, you have a better chance of a successful transaction than ebay, craigslist, or audiogon.

    There was a review on Head-Fi about a big shootout, and the Wyred4Sound DACs are an excellent buy at that price point. But from what I have gathered is the the Antelope Z+ at least, is another league. It would be interesting to directly compare the new (silver) base-level Zodiac against the W4S DAC2 because I believe they will both be priced at 1500.
