Product info:

http://www.firestoneaudioproducts.com/cute-series/supplier/

I have all of the cables and even a couple extra opamps for rolling. DAC sells for $199 and PS for $149--will take $225 for the pair.

At 24/48 this unit is obsolete.   I think you will end up having to take a lot less.   Just my opinion.

This is a current product--the prices I referenced are the best available current prices--feel free to check ebay and amazon. I have a second set of these components in use right now, and they work great--the convenience of rolling opamps is a nice feature. Although the installed NS chip is very good, I prefer the OPA 2107 in mine, and the OPA 2134 is a nice option as well--just like tube preferences--to each his own.

Think it's too much money--make an offer with money in-hand...

My post wasn't specifically in reference to the asking price relative to other sources.   I'm sure that it is fair.   It was just in regards to how quickly some technologies become obsolete.   I have owned at least a couple synths which were top of the lineish two grand units only to see their value plummet because of newer technologies usurping them.   It sucks when that happens, but it does happen.

A five year old, $1000 turntable can hold 80% of it's value.   A five year old, $1000 laptop, not so much (for example).

I have a Fubar too but would be interested in the supplier.  Would you be willing to separate?
