Well, not quite, but prices are so low I'm almost giving this stuff away.
My friend asked me, once again, to list his Shaling gear which consists of the renowned T-100 tube CD player and the gorgeous matching SP-80 monoblocks. The amps and the CDP have been modded (see below).
Since he wants them gone, I'm offering them at special Polkie pricing -- the CDP is $850 and the pair of monoblocks is $950. We'll offer a $100 discount if you buy both of them.

Here's the caveat -- LOCAL PICKUP ONLY in metro Atlanta area.
PM me if interested. Thanks.
*******************************
These are the most beautiful components on the planet. Extremely wife-friendly. All components are in 8/10 condition with no major cosmetic issues. There a slight blemish on one of the monoblocks transformer covers. Manuals are included.
The CD-T100 employs the latest in technology. Upsampling to 24 bit/96 kHz is performed using Crystals CS8420 sample rate converter. Four high-performance Burr-Brown PCM1704 chips do the D/A conversion while a second generation Pacific Microsonics PMD-200 decoder chip is used for HDCD decoding. The CD-T100 includes matched pairs of NOS Western Electric 2C51/396A audio tubes. The addition of the Western Electrics greatly improves the sound quality over the stock tubes. The tubes give the CD-T100 a detailed, lively, and musical presentation. The T-100 has volume control via the remote, so no preamp is needed.
The SP-80 monoblocks are rated at 50 wpc and have been designed to specifically match the CD-T100, both in aesthetics and musicality. These monoblock amplifiers are absolutely stunning to look at and built to the highest of standards. They are very quiet, fuss free and fill the room with a majestic sound that you just do not normally expect from an amplifier of this level. The SP-80 monoblocks have been modified by having the preamp section removed to simplify signal processing and allow for a cleaner sound. The T-100 has also been modified to include dual opa6027 on a BrownDog adapter. The monoblocks come with JJ Tesla E34L tubes with very low hours.
