    Crazy, but this is for sale again. I’ve been considering lots of different upgrade paths and this was one option. John’s Yamaha SACD player was also a piece I strongly considered. I most recently almost pulled the trigger on a Marantz 30n. I think I have settled on a Norma DS-1 at a price that is over my budget, but that I may not find again since these rarely come up on the used market. I will also be selling my Marantz SA-8005 and all of my SACD’s, which I hope to list tomorrow.

    That’s lots of rambling in a FS thread, so let’s get back to the L.K.S. It’s a phenomenal piece, especially for the price. When it’s recommended by Marvin and Brian, that’s kind of all you need to know.

    I’m going to say $975 to your door CONUS shipped with $1000 insurance. If you’re local or if you will be at LSAF, we can discuss pricing. I’ll also include the cable that Marvin included in the sell if the buyer wants it.
