That stinks, and he had some seriously nice gear. Somebody will enjoy it, just like he would have wanted I think.

It's a big city, John. Plenty of places that are great to be, and yes, a few you wouldn't/shouldn't visit.
Good news, though: You can pick these up without getting within 30 miles of Chicago.
Anywho, for a person who's on the prowl for big SDA's, they're not making any more and these look pretty minty.Jay

Nice. They stopped short of billet X-over plates.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
I hope he gets his asking price.

SDA-1C, Atlanta area. No affiliation. Incorrectly marked as 1B.
Doesn't have any upgrades and the interconnect is missing. A bit pricey IMO. What's the market for these before upgrades?

With my help, the seller found the interconnect cable. I know most like to upgrade that, but it is nice to have. -

I paid either $400 or $450 for mine locally off CL ~12 years ago. Mine were stock and 7 out of 10 condition and are just like the ones you're directing us to. Even though it's 12 years later, I think they're priced too high. See a lot of them in the $350-$550 range, sometimes with updates. Good luck. -

That's about what I was thinking. -
Nice SDA 2.3TL's in the Portland, OR. area. No pics of the tops so assume they were used as plant holders

I had a pair of those. They blocked the view out my LR windows (can't have that) and were relegated to the barn. Eventually, I sold them to a nice young aspiring audiophile. I'm perfectly happy with the 1C's I've modded.Gustard X26 Pro DAC

Another set of SRS 2.3TL, in the Phoenix area. They have these listed on their website for $3K, but according to the CL ad, $700 will get them if you show up at the warehouse with cashola. Photos are terrible, but they seem to be intact.
