    Selling my Amethyst for downsizing. Going to be running leaner, simpler, and cheaper with audio equipment.

    It's in good physical, cosmetic, and working condition. RCA jacks were swapped for Vampire CM1FCB (gold plated OFC, teflon dielectric), and SPDIF jacks were swapped for 75ohm BNC jacks. Used VH Audio's solid core, AirLok copper wire (24 awg) for wiring.

    Some minor issues/nitpicks for your awareness: Internal power transformer emits a mild buzz/hum but is only really audible when you have your ear close to the unit. I may or may not be able to tighten the RCA jacks further, but right now, they do twist in place a bit. Best to plug/unplug your cables straight in and out if I can't tighten it further. Also, the top of the case doesn't quite fit perfectly with the RCA plastic coupler in place, but so there's a very tiny gap in one spot between the back of the case and the top where it fits together. Everything is still screwed together nice and tight.

    Looking for $650 shipped.
