Going to start clearing out my gear in preparation of needing funds for my impending divorce ($5500 retainer and a total cost of around $10k *sigh*)
Below is the start of my main 2 channel tear down...feel free to reach out with questions and I will be posting pics as soon as I can.
Rosso Fiorentino Elba 2s in walnut. Original owner, gently used and in mint condition. Nice even sound across the spectrum and very solidly built. $3500 shipped or delivered within 3 hours of central Iowa or $3000 for local pickup.
AMC CVT-2030 Hybrid Tube Amplifier. EL34 based hybrid tube amp. Originally had soldered tubes but was upgraded/converted to sockets. Fans were also replaced with Noctua fans for absolutely silent operation. $450 shipped or $400 local pickup.
North Star Design Incanto DAC/Headphone amplifier. Original owner. I have used it with physical spinners and with streamers (Sonos ZP 90, Auralic Aries Mini, Nativ Vita, Windows based Laptop). It is a great sounding DAC and the headphone amp has become my reference headphone amp when comparing others. It can handle a wide range of impedances which makes it really flexible. $550 shipped or $500 local pickup.
Rotel RC-1570 Preamp. Great “entry-level” high end pre-amp with a wide range of connections and a pretty solid internal ESS Sabre based DAC. Also has balanced inputs and ouputs along with a solidly good phono pre-amp (MM only). Includes remote, manual, and BT dongle. Color is black. $650 shipped or $600 local pickup.
Sony UBP-X800 (Not the M2). Used this as my disc spinner for my 2 channel only. $125 shipped or $100 local pickup.
Auralic Aries Mini in black. Comes with a 1TB drive installed. $225 shipped or $200 local pickup.

Sorry to hear that news. I wish you the best. I’ll take the Sony spinner. PM me and we’ll work out shipping details. Don

I've started posting a couple responses. And have withdrawn them all. Fact is, I've never been in your shoes. Your gear is exceptional if it's your we wish, I hope you can retain the parts that brings you the most joy. At any rate, I wish you the best.

I feel bad expressing interest given the reason for the sale, but at the same time, maybe I’m helping out a little bit. Interested in the Aries Mini. I currently have a white one, but I think the black would look better in my system.
I’m not too familiar with most of the gear you have listed, but I know someone should jump on the Elba’s. Fantastic speakers!Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

I appreciate the sentiment.
I actually have already sold the Mini and the Sony.
I meant to come in here last night and post that but got sidetracked with sleeping. Heh
