Further information: Hi guys, Trying to figure if there is any interest in excellent condition Cayin N8 SS with only minor signs of use (see images) This is one fantastic player, I got Hugo2 and was thinking I'll just keep the best one, but it turned out to be extremely difficult, and I'm still not 100% sure which one I should keep. Selling Cayin mostly due to it's higher value, as I'm in pursuit of a nice set of closed-backs. The case has signs of use but still looks good. PM me if you have questions. Trade for Focal Stellia or ZMF Verite closed can be discussed.

Further information: As new, purchase date 06/05/2020. So plenty of warranty left (invoice supplied). Great decent entry to tubes. Comes with upgraded matched pair of new 12AU7 tubes (Genalex Gold Lions, RRP $135) they sound much better than the stock ones. Upgraded them as one of the stock 12AU7 tube hisses more than the other one (bad match), happy to include them with the sale if wanted, you could also try to claim warranty on the bad tube as its still so new if you wanted, I didn’t bother as the basic stock tubes are only worth $25-30 new anyway.. Postage would be around $30-$40 due to the weight of this beast! Thanks. Photos:

Further information: Purchased Brand new 6-May-2020 comes with Bill & Warranty. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.
