    If it is helpful for folks to calibrate to what these are going for, I paid $2400+fees and shipping for my mint sapele one recent, and then recent sold it to a friend here for $2200 total shipped. I imagine the price will continue to creep up, at least until the next run of a revised version that is being worked on.

    Kind of curious that they're selling the 3F for that price. I sold a friend of theirs mine awhile back at 2115 with both transformers (they acted as an intermediary), though I think that might be a different unit than the one they're selling now. Still, not very competitive pricing!

    Definitely looking forward to the Cee Tee Collab with Doug. Affordable 3F's for the masses would be a wonderful thing, and would let many to forgo tube nervosa :).

    $2,600 CAD ≈ $2,072 USD if that makes any difference.

    Never mind, it IS listed in USD. I would just verify the price with the seller, but it does appear to be priced in USD.

    Yeah, sorry, it's a Canuck Audio Mart link but It's actually a US listing

    I guess it is CAD as the original price of amp was USD2800 and not 3200 as reported by seller and hence I feel it’s actually CAD.

    I guess the TL;DR of all the above: great amp, not a good price.

    And if true, f**k the seller for misreporting/inflating the MSRP (not sure if the amorphous transformers are an upcharge) and f**k them twice over if they are flipping from @dematted.

    If anyone was curious...

    This is for a very minty 3F with both transformers. I do find it kind of crappy that a SBAF member would try to sell the 3F for 2600 after getting a deal on one with both transformers for 2.1k from a SBAF member.

    @AdvanTech want to provide any clarity or reasoning behind the 3F transactions?

    That deal for the amp with two transformers was for a coworker/friend that heard my DSHA-3F and wanted one of his own. He is still enjoying it on the daily and has no plans to sell his. I was just over at his to listen to his new VPI turntable through it.

    I'm getting out of headphones to focus on 2-channel. I haven't gotten around to making an SBAF FS thread for the DSHA-3F I've had for a few years and Clears, but I will. I bought mine here for $2,500 but won't ask for that much. I owe a lot to this community.

    re: inflating MSRP, I just picked one of the last USAM listings for the amp to copy/paste from. Should have double-checked somewhere else.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you bought it here for $2500, tried to sell it on USAM for $2600, then got found out so put it up here for $2300?
