Nov 22 - Nov 30: Including shipping with asking price to lower 48 states!Conrad-Johnson Premier 17LS Vacuum-Tube Line Stage PreamplifierOriginal MSRP $4600 with tubes. Condition is excellent, 9/10. Cared for very well with no dings or marks other than very fine signs of normal use, if that. Approximately 1000 hours on the preamp. Lower hours on the two sets of included tubes. Original metal remote, manual, shipping box. Will be shipped double boxed to protect the original factory box.
If you are not already hunting for this particular model, read some of the reviews below. It is one the most sought after C-J models and is in a price sweet spot for the greatest bang for your buck. The next best choice would be the Pr16LS for $1000 more.
$2250 includes shipping to lower 48 states. $75 credit towards actual shipping cost to other US locations. I'll be glad to take money order, bank transfer, direct deposit, personal check, paypal. All but cash direct deposit and paypal will require time for clearing. Paypal fees the buyer's responsibility.
Ample feedback on AudioGon as ZekeB and on eBay as zekeblue.
You will not find a pre-owned Pr17LS in better condition. Includes factory tubes with low hours and a set of EH Gold Pins, an upgraded tube. It takes four 6922 tubes with many options for tube rolling if desired.
I'll answer all questions as best I can.
