Hey guys/gals, You know that saying "Life comes at you fast" well it sure does. So I'm selling a few pieces of gear to help slow things down a bit. Up for grabs are a:

Conrad Johnson PV14LS2 tube preamp w/ stock Mullards. It gives you that glorious sound that CJ is known for. It also has a HT bypass which incorporates the piece flawlessly in a combined system. A few scratches on the bottom due to using Mapleshade Ultimate Triple points for isolation.
$1200

Van Alstine OmegaStar 440EX (220x2)ss amp. Frank has been making hi-end gear for close to 40 years now. Everything is made to order (took 8 weeks). His gear is highly regarded, built like a tank & sounds incredible. This baby will drive anything you throw at it. I received the unit in 5/06, just slightly over a year old now. I talked to Frank & he reminded me that since I am the original buyer, his warranty (3yrs) is transferrable.
$1050

Van Alstine Ultra DAC. What can I say, this is one superb unit. It puts you "there" in the performance. Again, made to order (9 weeks) but it was well worth the wait. Received the unit in early Dec 07, unit is 7 months old with remainder of the 3yr warranty.
$1100

Also a set (3) of Mapleshade Ultimate Triplepoints. These babies really do the trick as far as isolation. They will scratch the gear a bit though as mentioned in the CJ info. But a small price to pay for their performance.
$60

PS-The AAD's in the room pic are not for sale. I have to draw the line somewhere!!! :D

All the above gear comes with the original box & manual, manuals, & warranty card from Van Alstine.

I have some pics & others I have to figure out how to reduce them first.

Fellow forum members, Joe, Dave, Lou, Anty, Billy, Jesse, Sal have all heard & seen the gear & all were very impressed.

Hey fellows, I don't know what the hell is going on (computer dummie here) but I can't load some of the pics. It keeps saying that they're already on another thread. Go to my thread in the Testing forum to take a look at them. Sorry about that. I'll keep working on this but gear with me.

Anyone interested please PM me.

    Hey Mike,

    Thanks for the concern...nothing serious at all. That's what great about this forum, everybody shows concern for other Polkies. I'll be back in the game very shortly.

    Damn Phil........sorry to see your fine gear on the block.
