    Mozart Edition: Complete Works (170 CD Box Set) [Box Set]
    reg $149.99, GB Sale is $79.99 - That's about $0.47 cents per CD!!

    The Gold Box deal is good for another 3+ hours or until they sell the stock 57% claimed at this time)

    I can't comment on quality but 102 reviews with a 4.5/5 start avg rating-can't be bad for 50 cents each.

    These mods included, I'll say! it's a good entry level tube pre for not a lot of clams;

    HexFRED diode B+ rectifiers
    5A Schottky filament bridge
    Greatly increased power supply capacitance for B+ and filaments
    Polypropylene bypasses on power supply capacitors
    Sonicap Platinum .22ufd coupling capacitor bypasses
    Additional RCA output installed (for running extra amp or powered subwoofer)
    Also includes a matched pair of Sovtek 6H30PiEB tubes
