Ran across this tonight. Made me laugh.

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.
