    good review. I have seen a price of $430 but that might be high or not. I don't know.

    He's shipping it to me when he gets back from vacation. $350 sounded really fair. A cheap way to try out tubes

    well not such a great deal now, turns out he reminds me that he owes me $150 bucks to I'm really getting it for $500. But he's only got about 20 hours on it and I've seen them 500 and more on audiogon.

    So turns out my friend emails me and tells me his brother is taking the amp so I'm bummed. I posted on av123 hoping to get one and I get a straight up trade for my PS3 so WOO HOO. plus my friend is sending my 150 bucks to my paypal. So everything turns out roses again. I'm glad I put that ad in the av123 forum tho
