Some interesting new arrivals to expand our offering on the digital front: Shanling's SCD 3.3 SACD Player ($3,995) which features a R2R type ladder DAC and tube buffered output stage (this player can also function as a DAC OR a transport too!). Next up the the Shanling SCD1.3 SACD Player ($1,595) which in addition to being able to stream/play music via BT and Apple Airplay can also act as a DAC and transport! Both units are breaking in and sounding quite good so far. Build quality also looks/feels top notch.
More details.thoughts to come once I've had more time to spend listening to both units.

Now selling on consignment, this just serviced (by me) pair of Joule-Electra Stargate mono block power amps. They have around 20W/ch (factory spec is 30W, but from what I see on my workbench its less than that). They are now in perfect working order. The power supplies have been fully re-capped, bias push-button switches replaced, several tubes replaced, new LCD meters, and more (over $1,500 of parts and labor). Price: $3,000 plus shipping. I have spent many hours running these amps, swapping around tubes to get them very stable and quiet, ensuring the 6C33's decently match, etc. The come with nice brass cones screwed into the bottom panel. I will back them with a 90 day warranty on parts and 30 days on tubes. Cosmetically they come as you see them (less the labels/posit-its stuck on them)... I would rate the cosmetic condition as good on the black chassis and See More
