Purchased from the importer, Signature Sound (see link). Silver faceplate.The latest version, SM, was announced recently at $5250. Mine is the previous SK version with V-Cap coupling capacitors. Output tubes test like new and well matched. Input tubes test like new as well. I removed the useless rubber feet (included) and replaced them with three carbon fiber discs which absorb internal vibrations. I originally used Herbies Tall Tenderfeet to isolate the amp from external vibrations but later upgraded to the superior AV Room Service EVP feet. Neither are included if you want to use your favorite isolation footers. Three tall Tenderfeet add $45. Three EVP footers add $115. These are built to order and last I checked are backordered at least 3 months at the $5250 retail price. Includes factory double box shipping container, power cord and owners manual. The reference and show system at Merlin toward the end was Ars-Sonum amplification, Cardas cabling and Merlin Speakers. I currently have a better version of this system for sale since my Ars Sonum has been upgraded significantly since then. Price is firm, no trades, buyer pays shipping, PayPal adds 3%. Thank you.
