    clean up sale on a few items that need new homes

    0. Toolshed Amps Darling 1626 headphone amplifier - $1900 net to me for friends + contributors ($2600 new)
    single-ended triode headphone amp. custom OPTs optimized for a 300 ohm load, so senns or zmfs recommended. sale includes two full sets of NOS tubes.

    1. JAR modded HD650s - $250 shipped ($450 new)
    owned since June i believe. this is the latest version of the mod i purchased directly from JAR for $450. im not sure what to price them at since they are an aftermarket mod and decent condition 650s are going for ~$200. ill put the price for now at $250 shipped if anyone is interested in trying a pair of these out. i dont have the original senn box but do have the 3m 1/4" cable. pads are still in good shape and shouldnt need replacing for a while

    see info here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.o...-impressions-measurements-finalized-mod.6968/

    2. audio alt no.1 amplifier - $200 shipped (~$550 new)
    this is a class A amplifier using only two active JFET devices per channel and transformer coupling for input and output. since it is unknown and i also had to do some repairs on it when it arrived, its priced at more than 50% off for anyone who is interested enough to try it

    3. lounge audio mk iii phono stage - $250 shipped ($300 new)

    non-audio doodads

    1. Glorious Model O and Model O- mice
    I have both a model O (glossy white) and model O- (matte black) for sale. I pre-ordered both of these and used them for less than 2 weeks each. very good mice but I realized I prefer having an ergonomic shape with a thumb grip. i know some people are icky about used mice (i know i am) but these are really like new and do not have cheeto dust
    $50 shipped for the Model O and $45 shipped for the Model O-

    2. Filco Majestouch 2 TKL Ninja (Cherry Brown)
    I checked and apparently it's like $140 USD to import one of these via Amazon.com so I'm asking $80 shipped. this has been sitting in my closet for a year since I upgraded to Topre Realforce. It's a great minimalist cherry keyboard. I have the original box, papers and keycap puller. This is the tenkeyless version with the lettering printed on the side of the keys for that edgy hacker aesthetic.

    thanks 4 look
