Need to fund a major system overhaul I just finished, so some pieces have to go.
Dared SL2000a
Comes with two 60's GE 6201 5 Star tubes that I got from Brock (one of his faves, and the guy is the tube king around here). The rectifier tube just went out so you'll have to find one. The remote does not work nor do I have the original box. Good condition, 7/10
$320 shipped
Channel Islands VDA-2 DAC
This has been the heart of my system for the past couple of years or so. I've put it up to many others and it has always stayed on the field. It's a small DAC that would work well where space is limited. Don't have the original box but this will be easy to pack and ship. Great condition, 8/10

$250 shipped
Emotiva USP-1 Preamp
Bass management, phono input, ht bypass, it's got it all. I really expected this preamp to not measure up to the many that have come through my system at its price point. Well, it did measure up and sounded great with my B&K M200 Mono's. Good condition 7/10
$240 shipped
Let me know if prices are off. I don't even remember how much I paid for some of these pieces. Thanks gents.

Payment sent for the CI DAC, Thanks!
-
The USP-1 and CIA DAC have sold.
The only thing left is the little Dared pre that could. Someone PM'ed about a hum issue I was having a few months ago but I narrowed that down to a ground loop issue within my system. It's still happening with a new preamp in place but I can't hear it from my listening position. Will keep it if it doesn't sell in the next few days for my office rig. -
Found a rectifier for the Dared and put her back in the system for an hour or two and decided she's worth keeping
Mods please mark this thread as "SOLD"
Thanks guys! -
CI DAC arrived on time and very well packed. I bought it for my father and he is extremely pleased with how it sounds on his Sonos Connect.
Thanks Shane! -
