KenW Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Not my listing although I'd love to own her. At $7500, it's a bit pricey for my wallet but man, I do love the way she looks! http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1168892897 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Speaking of looks, this is easily my favourite product from the Moth Audio catalog, based on looks alone (besides the nightlight, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 $7500 seems like a hell of a lot for that, does anyone know how much it cost new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I think that?s the same guy that sold the moth nitelight. That chassis is very similar or exactly the same as the Xana chassis. IIRC, Craig said that the Xana sold for around $10K. I don?t have any clue about this custom job. http://www.eddiecurrent.com/mothaudio/xanahi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 It sold for about $6000 new. The one in the ad has been gutted and is a different amp from what it had been initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 The Word! Moth priced it at $4500.00. Craig estimates the street value at $3500.00 without tubes. The seller allegedly hired someone to upgrade the amp, but possibly did more to ruin the original sound than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 The seller allegedly hired someone to upgrade the amp, but possibly did more to ruin the original sound than anything else. Why would you say that? Kevin Carter is a pretty smart and respected guy in the audio world. I think with all the upgrades, the limited availability, PV5 Switcher, and the matched pairs of KR, AVVT, and WE 300B's plus all the other tubes the price is justified. Still way too much for most people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Why would you say that? Kevin Carter is a pretty smart and respected guy in the audio world. Because that's what has been conveyed. I am not familiar with Kevin Carter. And it seems unquestionable that the modifications did change or ruin (depending on your viewpoint) the original sound. I didn't mean it was now better or worse or that someone wouldn't buy it for his asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

909 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 That Moth is still for sale... (pricy) I found another Moth amp a few days ago. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1169665578 I've never seen so many Moth listings in such a short timeframe.
