good review. I have seen a price of $430 but that might be high or not. I don't know.

JimBRICK

He's shipping it to me when he gets back from vacation. $350 sounded really fair. A cheap way to try out tubes

engtaz

very good deal must be a really good friend.

Early B.

That's an incredible deal. If you ever decide to sell it, let me be the first to know.

JimBRICK

well not such a great deal now, turns out he reminds me that he owes me $150 bucks to I'm really getting it for $500. But he's only got about 20 hours on it and I've seen them 500 and more on audiogon.

Still in the ballpark of a good deal.

I'm happy, I now have to learn to do the biasing when its needed

So turns out my friend emails me and tells me his brother is taking the amp so I'm bummed. I posted on av123 hoping to get one and I get a straight up trade for my PS3 so WOO HOO. plus my friend is sending my 150 bucks to my paypal. So everything turns out roses again. I'm glad I put that ad in the av123 forum tho

Congrats again.

JimBRICK

man I can't wait to get this thing, then I start learning about rolling the tubes out.
