I have a Yaqin CD2 tube buffer for sale asking 100.00. It will come with GE JAN 5654W tubes. These are a step up from stock. I have many other tubes for it but cost will go up as most cost 30.00+ a pair and are matched sets.
Tubes I have on hand
Western Electric 403B's
Siemens
Tungsol's
Voskhod x3 one set with gold pins VERY GOOD but are pricey these are the ones i use and like the most. extra 40.00


Full Disclosure I bought this from Nooshinjohn for 80.00 shipped to my door with stock tubes. All of my tubes have less than 200 hours with most in the 60-100hour range all were NOS

Open for negotiations. trying to be very reasonable and trying not to loose money on shipping as I will pack to survive a truck drop at 70mph.

PP gift or pay the 3% please

    1st off, great seller and great person to chat with. This unit surprised me in a few different ways. 1 build, way heavier then i thought it would be. I thought it would add some noise but, to me, it didn't. It works great between the w4s dac2 and the pre. Since i am trying out a McIntosh MA6900 Integrated, I thought i would out it between the pre out and amp in and I also like it there as well.

    I first tried it with the GE tubes and then the Voskhod . So far the Voskhod is a better match on my system or has better synergy with the rest. On the McIntosh I have been playing with the Ar sp16 also to the amp in. Using the cd-2 instead of the ar is close. That is still up in the air if i am keeping the integrated or going back to separates but the cd-2 definitely helps lean the scale if i do decide to keep the integrated, I would need to pick up another one LOL.

    I still have some tube rolling to go but, i think either way i go, this unit will be on the w4s dac.
