    I know it...that's a bit more than I'm willing to spend. Looks like I'll have to be patient and lucky

    Tony, I don't think I will be selling this one. I thought about it because I saw a DNA 2 available (which is very rare) and I was going to make a run at it, but I can't get the seller to my price point. I probable would have needed around $725 from this amp to make a deal.

    So, I probably will be keeping this one. Which I'm ok with because this is a great amp.
    Just wanted to throw my hook in the water on the DNA 2

    dhart, you ever decide to sell this, let me have first run at it.
