    I have them, they came with a very, very old home built PC. One of the few Polk Audio products that I can say sound awful.

    I have a pair still BNIB, but I'm not letting them go for less than $200 ;)

    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

    normal price on audiogon is 650-750. That seems if it would be in good condition a good deal. If it has the "blue boards" it often makes it more sought after.

    I don't buy things just to resell them (Death to flippers). I just bought a very nice tube pre that will be arriving next week. If someone wants this, feel free to contact the seller and I can pick it up if you pay via paypal or whatever. It all has to happen before Wednesday, because I leave Tuesday night for vacation until the 23rd.

    If this happens, you should also contact George Grand. I have never shipped anything, and he's always been gracious enough to pack and ship my items I sell. If he wouldn't mind selling it for you, I can pick it up and drop it off to him.

    James my good man,

    While I have no interest whatsoever in this particular preamp, if it's a local to US good deal, I wouldn't mind a PM or email before you offer my free packing and shipping services to these cretins. Capiche? I have a huge Ignore List that will be strictly adhered to as well.

    You wouldn't want to be in the same room with me if I had to pack something for you that I coveted, and didn't get a chance to peruse.

    Wrong pre amp. That's a GTP-750( ht pre) not the GFP-750 2 channel pre with HT bypass.
