    This is so incredibly hard to do as all of these pieces of gear have brought me joy time and time again. Unfortunately, recent medical bills necessitate the sale of most of my audio gear. I'll do my best to ship in a timely manner but a broken foot and no car means traveling is difficult. Please bare with me.

    Friends/Contributors for the time being, all prices include shipping/PayPal fees (gift appreciated) to CONUS.

    Shit - didn’t read the intro. Sorry, it really sucks.

    If you’re good I’ll take the Bendix.

    So sorry @cskippy ...this has to hurt as much as the bills.
    I hope you can build another kick ass system soon.

    PM'd.
    It's quite painful for me to read this, since your impressions have led to basically all my gear purchases. I hope it all works out.

    I've read many of your posts. It's clear how much you enjoyed this gear & distressing you have to sell it.

    Hope it's just a temporary fork in the road...

    Get well soon man, and I hope the medical bills work out ok. I had something similar last year, and had to liquidate my gear. You will be able to build back up again in the future, if you choose that option. Best of luck with everything man.

    @cskippy This makes me sad. You've found your personal preference matches and now life deals you a shitty hand. I hope you heal quickly and your fortune makes a turn for the better; much better.

    Very sorry to hear this, @cskippy. Nobody should be forced to gut their hobby to pay for medical bills. Here’s hoping your luck turns around soon.

    Hope everything turns out for the best @cskippy! If I hadn't just bought the loaner tour DM C2 I would have taken this one off of your hands. Best wishes
