Not electrostatic amp but this is a complete steal here.

The RK50 by itself is $800 right? I own the Balanced Home with Max Module and this amp is amazing at driving the HD800 and nearly as good as my ECP DSHA-0 prototype. This is supposedly even better. The seller had it on ebay with BIN for $3500 for like 3 months and I made an offer at $2500 and he rejected my offer. Wish I could have bought it for that price.
I believe that this amp used to belong to Akwok and he had a tech some where to remove the black gates, and replace with a more conventional caps...then sell the caps on ebay for some profit.
Phil had three top ten players of all time, so he had to do okay. MJ, Kobe, and Shaq are once a generation players. What Pop is doing with SA is much more impressive IMO.
He is facing some stiff completion these days. The new Sony TA-ZH1ES is crazy good at the asking price. It can sound a little soft at time but over all it is a very solid buy at the asking price. Plus you can save some cash because u don't need a Any front source plus it even come with a nice preamp.
Not to mention Doug's and Justin's offerings.
Well...I had the LG in house for a week and the build quality (chassis wise) is better than that or RSA. RSA use very thin gauge metal and just happen to photograph well. I agree with you completely that the engraving is definitely way over done. That thing thing runs way hotter than even the Dynahi.
I will be there as usual. The event will be smaller than Canlanta but this will do for now. I can't wait to hang out with Brent again. Will Justin and Doug stop by again?
