Well, I am working on some things as of late that take pretty high priority.  With that said I am selling one of the two preamps mentioned above.  Images will be posted soon. 

Sunfire Classic Tube Preamp:  7/10
Phono Stage
Programmable remote (original gone)
PM for price

Carver C-19 (Modded by Tom and signed by Bob Carver): 9/10

I am only planning to sell one of these.  Once one is sold, the other is no longer for sale.  Several tube options (Stock, Bugle Boys, and Telefunken)

Wish you good luck.

If the C-19 is as good as the one Tom brought to Carverfest
it's a great pre amp.

Hey guys! 

I never really had time to list the preamp on eBay but would be sad to see such a great piece of equipment, whichever goes, not be with one of my friends.  How can I get it back when I realize I made a horrid mistake otherwise?  The prices, for active forum members are as follows:

Carver C-19 Modded:  $1100

Sunfire Tube Preamp with phono stage and remote (programmable remote):  $1400 

I know I said I would get pics up earlier, but as I don't work tomorrow I really plan to get on that!
