Karma - Monoprice Fabulousness!
Not as great as LSAF karma, but a close second! 
I have a brand new Monoprice tube hybrid integrated amp! Tube pre, SS amp.
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13194
I will even pay for shipping to a lucky Polkster!

Some history on this amp. This is my 3rd from Monoprice. The first 2 were covered under warranty.
The first, being tube ignorant, just thought is was cool. And cheap. I plugged it it, and poof! Smoke cloud, burning electrical smell (love it) and nothing. Dead. No worries, Monoprice has a pretty good return policy.
The second, ran ok, paired easily with my iPhone, used to push my TSI200s for a few months, no issues. About a month ago, the thing started humming loudly without any signal going into it, even at zero volume. WTH?
The third, I just got another replacement a few days ago, no return policy issues, they sent me a shipping label as before. I'll give it another spin. Now the bluetooth connectivity sucks! Phone keeps dropping. Lots of static, phone drops in and out. Did the usual troubleshooting, but did not want to break the chassis seal to void the warranty. Could it be as simple as a poor connection to the BT antenna! You'll have to let us know!
Lots of fun for you guys that love to pop the hood with an ohm meter and soldering gun in hand! Besides this gives me an excuse to jump into the SET rabbit hole!
If interested, pick a number between 1-100. Drawing to be held this Saturday evening!

I have fire extinguishers close by.
If I win again, this might not be the best unit for me to listen to a tube amp in 40+ years again. If it works...
Seriously, GREAT Karma item for sure.
Thanks.

Will the winner of this handsome unit be able to return it if the Bluetooth connection is acting up? Is that shipping label only to be used by the original purchaser?

Almost pulled the trigger on one of these a few times but never did because of all the supposed issues they have. But for free, I’ll take it!
