I purchased this piece from GlennDog and never used it. This is the one you want. I was told it uses the same transformer from the latest group buy, but that's about all the technical info I can give. I'm sure plenty of guys can chime in and help me out here. It's beautiful and is unbelievably heavy.
I'm including all of the hardware I bought to install Neutrik connections on my CRS+'s as well. Asking $600 shipped.

I can't believe not a single comment. These don't pop up very often, surely there is someone with SDA's that has been looking for one.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Yeah, I'd like to, but $600 is a bit steep. Usually when you hear crickets, something is amiss.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

I can't read minds, but I suspect that Polkies, being a frugal lot, are waiting for more of a discount.

The only guys who really NEED one are those who run non-common-ground amps with SDAs.
As in my case, I suspect most Polkies in that situation already have a Dreadnought of one kind or another.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.

I'd do one at the right price so I could run mono blocks.

Common ground or not, this is much better then even the standard SDA cable, it will make a difference in the quality of sound..
With that said I feel the price is steep as well.. -

Tell me how you really feel! :P
Folks, I myself paid $550 for this with the understanding that I lack both the time and skill to not only source all of the parts necessary but also to assemble it correctly. Those Cardas binding posts aren't cheap either. I also paid just under $70 for the hardware to make the Neutrik connections at the speakers and all that is included.
With that said, I'm willing to work with someone who wants to get the most out of their SDA's. I have an offer on the table already but I wanted to give it more time. Make an offer and let's talk.
