Best Audiogon Ad Ever -- Gubin Mooncup
« on: 2 Jun 2011, 06:00 am »
Ran across this tonight.  Made me laugh.

http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1312145800

Title: Gubin Mooncup Class A You read it right; it's a gubin mooncup
Asking: $600.00 obo
Condition:   7/10
About Seller: Kolledog (666) 

Time to sell some audio oddities. Of course, all of you know about the Gubin Mooncup, so you can skip to the bottom of the listing or just email me to tell me you want to buy it.

For those of you who haven't heard of the Gubin Mooncup, let me tell you what I know about it. Not much, in fact, because I don't read Russian.

It uses 4 EL84 Russian equivalent tubes and one ECC85 Russian equivalent tube. If you read Russian, I can send you a schematic and then you can tell me more than I know now.

I also know that it sounds as sweet as a bowl of borscht with a chilled Stoli chaser. Pure Class A.

Please take a look at the photos and email if you want me to send them to you in a high resolution format.

And here's the deal I'll make you. Buy the amp, and if you don't think it's a fine fine piece of gear worth every penny of 600 bux, send it back to me and I'll return your money (minus shipping costs). No international shipping. None. Nyet.

Better yet, bring your cash, along with your favorite LP to my house at zip 06801, and have a listen.

No more paypal for me. Send a money order or a personal check (which will delay shipping while the check clears).

Check my listings and feedback. No high end audio 'tude from this dude, just good clean fun.

Agree!  Jeff, the author of the Audiogon ads writes terrific copy.  In one of his ads he explained why he doesn't like to ship with a certain known parcel company by including a picture of an overturned truck. Very clever!

He is also a good person to do business with.

It is also one of the few pieces of equipment which has google stumped.

Just in case anyone is interested in dealing with Jeff, I too can attest that he is a great guy and a square shooter; I have done deals with him in the past thru Agon.

Me too....twice.  I bought his Bedini amp.  He bought my Kuzma turntable / arm.
