Absolutely flawless, sparingly used since Bought this last summer directly from schiit...I used it with my cans but mostly used its line outs to my powered monitors with amazing results. That said, I use my set up for mixing/music production and lean heavy on my solid state gear for a more clinical, technical sound.
Included in the sale are a pair of Reflektor Holy Grail 6N23P Silver Shields (rated at approx 5000hrs, might have 400-500hrs on them currently) for the preamp section. These are scarce and pricey but made a substantial difference vs the stock tubes provided by schiit. The depth in soundstage is magical if the surrounding components/source are up to snuff. I also purchased socket savers/extenders for the tube sockets. These are handy for tube rolling -which is non issue here with the holy grails included- but more importantly, lifts the tubes slightly from the chassis. This helps dissipate heat from the chassis caused by the tubes and as a sexy bonus, makes their magic glow a little more visible too.
i paid $400 inc shipping/tax directly from schiit and an additional $100 for the NOS tubes and socket savers. this unit is pretty much mint. for someone in the market for one of these, its a fair price with the upgrades...
Has printed manual, no box. not interested in trades. Thanks.
