I am selling a mint condition SLP 05. I bought it on 13 October 2013, and received it on 18 October 2013, directly from Cary Audio Design LLC in Apex, North Carolina.  It is in "as new" condition. I have checked all inputs and outputs and found no problems.  I estimate that it has been used for less than 100 hours.  I'm selling all of my tube gear as I'm switching to ss gear to drive my new electrostatic speakers including a room and speaker correction solid-state preamplifier.

Box 1 of 2: SLP 05 Preamplifier 23 lbs. 22"x18"x9" (LxWxH)
Box 2 of 2: Power Supply 25 lbs. 22"x18"x9" (LxWxH)

Thanks for looking.
