Check is out! Pretty rare stuff. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ele/3709392732.html

Not mine.

I think someone's gonna get lucky

Damn, those cases look exactly like the ones I built for my monos...
Then again, a walnut box with a beveled edge isn't too rare.

Looks nice, shame I don't have a spare $400 lying around right now.

Somewhat rare and a nice dog of a performer. I have never met a SA unit that was still working moderately well, here in the midwest. I know a friend who has nine of these units, and they also never see the light of day in a setup.

YMMV.

Wow.

The interesting thing is the engineering tree that branched out of Phase Linear. One branch was Robin rolling over to SA, a second was Tapco, and of course Bob Carver rolled directly into Carver.

Here is a thread about Robin and SA.

It might seem harsh, but the only piece of gear I have that has aged worse than my SA preamp is a Nakamichi slimline 410 preamp. It's bad when a 1967 CM Labs preamp and a Crown IC150 both sound better, and are ten years older and also not refurbed.
