For sale, Line stage SP16L that means no phono preamp built in. Comes with the original box, owners manual, EH RAM tubes and remote. The remote is kind of finicky. The batteries seem to sit well but, sometimes I have to press the back down hard for it to work or stick a little piece of paper to apply pressure to the batteries to get the remote to work. I am not sure why or whats up with it but it does work.
This unit also has some upgraded caps in it.
It takes 3 12ax7 tubes.

I would like $1300 plus shipping for it. I had some pics of it somewhere in the forum. I will take a look around for them or take more pics of it when I get home tonight.

    Cary makes some nice stuff!. Congrats!. In this price range, there is a lot of choices with lots of different signature sounds. I say you made a nice choice. There is no wong or right in this category, just personal preference.

    I will give you two dollars and the address to the safe @tonyb puts all his mafia money in and even throw in the combination....

    In all honesty this is a great item just way above my price point for the foreseeable future.

    Done deals with Ernie and he's a good guy. Buy w confidence...

    Tony calls it "insurance" for the "garbage" buisness.

    Thanks for the kind words. It took double the price to take it on!.
