SOLD!!

EAR 868PL, one owner, purchased from an authorized dealer approximately 3 years ago. This is the PL version of the 868 featuring a very good phono stage and built in SUTs. The built-in SUTs are the same as used in the EAR MC-3 which is highly regarded. I tried a number of outboard SUTs in an attempt to beat the internals and ended up preferring the built-in SUTs.
In good condition with no noticeable scratches, dent, gouges, etc. This unit has the chrome face plate and chrome knobs.
This unit has never been serviced. I have/ had owned a few EAR pieces, none have required service. This unit has also never been modified.
Ships in original box, will be double boxed. Review my feedback, my pack jobs are excellent. Comes with manual, original power cord (unused), and remote (good condition. Will include a set of NOS Telefunken tubes installed and the original tubes with less than 100 hours.
One pair of Teles (currently in line stage) is from Upscale Audio, platinum graded. One pair of Teles (currently in phono stage) was purchased from a well regarded ebay seller. I prefer the Teles in this unit, compared to stock. The sound is more neutral with better resolution.
I will cover payment fees. Shipping CONUS only via UPS or Fedex, insured. Flat shipping charge of $50 (estimated shipping will be $100+, I will pick up the difference).
As a bonus, at my asking price, I will order you a set of Herbies Soft Tender feet. I have compared these feet against many other competitors, including Stillpoints Ultra SS and have always preferred the Herbies. This seems to hold true for all the EAR gear I've done comparisons.
Please ask any questions you may have before purchase. Thanks!
