He's had these up for $325 for a couple weeks. Now looks like he just want them gone. I'd buy them, but I have some other plans.

 

I have a pair of TABAQ using the same drivers - they sound very good

 

$825 Focal Clear Mg: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/fs-focal-clear-mg-with-optional-extra-lqi-cable.22779/

Not sure if this is a "deal" but I don't think DSHA-3Fs come up for sale very often:

I was eyeing this as well and IMHO it's not quite a deal as well-priced units sold for around 20% less ($2000-2100) in the past year or two.

Tough to peg a fair market price on something out-of-production and increasingly rare though.

 

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.

 

It shows up like this for me. Clearly in USD.

 

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.

 

Here is the USA Audio Mart listing:

https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649841059-ecp-dsha-3f-ravenswood-amorphous-transformers/

$2,600 USD

So @dematted's assessment stands. Moving on.

 

Two vintage headphones (HD420 and YH-3) for a decent price: ($65 USD):

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?
