    Although the Google translate of the listing is quite amusing:

    Makes me wish I could read Italian.

    Upscale Audio just got in a pair of minty Utopias that came in on trade towards a large purchase that will soon be posted online at $1999 - free shipping in the USA and no tax if you're outside CA. Everything included, just like new.

    Figured I'd post here first in case there were any bites. You can chat me on the UA site or just message me here.

    That's the same "Daniel North" special listed on USAudioMart since last July. Looks like it @Failed Engineer finally bit and has correctly listed it in an appropriate market. If its in good shape I still think that's a good value.

    Yes I did buy it for curiosity. I’ve satisfied it and confirmed I prefer solid state. It’s good but the DSHA-3F aligns to my taste with the Utopia by a clear margin.

    This is a general note, not a specific deal:

    USD is trading at .71 to the Canadian dollar today. This means a deal between a Canadian seller and a US buyer can be very good for both parties. I'm seeing a 25% 'discount' on some Canadian versus US used equipment prices right now.

    Just an FYI for Canadian sellers and US bargain hunters.

    I hope this isn’t a dumb question. I know it can be variable based upon specific build, but what do these Glenn OTL amps run for new? I’m always leery of buying used gear when I have no idea the base prices. Are prices inflated do to scarcity & wait time? It is hard to figure out how much one is paying for the amp versus the tubes.

    In total, the Glenn OTL with all of the fixings (except for the mods he added) comes out to around $1700 shipped. With the mods and the tubes he's providing, you're looking at saving around $300 if you had done it yourself.

    My Glenn OTL build was about $1600 and I went with the normal attenuator an no XLR inputs. That also included some base tubes to get me going. As far as how much I spent on tubes for the amp afterwards, well you don't wanna know... ;)
