Color Me Gone
Just received an Email from a gentlemen in Spain who would like to place an order with Moth Audio for an indentical amp as mine. Asking about the specific upgrades we incorporated he mentioned that there was a s45 for sale on AudioGon (I was aware) and that it sold for $1950, which is $550 MORE than I paid for my amp (in stock form). There was a recent price increase of $400 but the guy was still selling a USED component, though he was kicking in some nice tubes; Sovtek 2a3s and a pair of vintage 45s, along with a few nice rectifiers. Still, when another buddie (Inmate TIC) brought the amp ad to my attention I told him the asking price of $1700 was reasonable considering the price increase, extra tubes and I believe the seller had the expensive Blk Gate PS caps installed at Moth. I told him to try an talk him down, never thinking it would sell for more than a NEW AMP! I guess the buyer didn't want to wait for Craig to builld him one (I waited three months). Makes me feel better about my investment, not that I'm considering selling her.
