For vintage gear I am more of a Marantz guy.. I like McIntosh and owns some 70s Luxman stuff... but that... oh my!
sexy! there are a few preamps I would love to do A/B test on ( in my system / headphones ) and that would be in the top 5
Vintage tube amps have a great sound!

there is one on EBAY for even more

That is soooo not new. The bag its packed in is wrinkled up. New bags don't look that way. And the AC cord is an obvious give away.

I save the box and packing for anything really nice I buy. Not hard to pack something back up and claim its new, if you're low life dirt bag.
