I just acquired this when doing some trading and I really have no need for a second one. These are a great value piece and there are TONS of threads and reviews on these units. The stock tubes are pretty lackluster. This unit has American made National brand tubes which are a pretty significant upgrade over the Chinese tubes that come in it. It is in great shape and works perfectly.

$175 shipped CONUS OBO

    I have the cd2 version. They are cool units, take great to tube rolling and sound good. For now I have mine on the back of my w4s dac2 to give it some soul.

    I also have a pair of vintage "short bottle" RCA's that I am trying in the buffer right now. The center "key" on the bottom of one of the tubes is broken off and I was a little skeptical to try them, but they are in right now and sound FANTASTIC. I will include these with the sale as well.

    I enjoy mine. It has spoiled me. I can't play a digital source, even with a decent DAC, without it.
