It's all well and good, but somewhat deceptive as he neglected to mention that the 2dB step system is lost with the rose of the characteristic by the unevenness of leading about which tends to take place with wire wiring, and the uniform engine performance is obtained.
It was a simple oversight, but ultimately as important as ham on which the fries in vinegar next to the bees nest at sundown want a foil insulator but instead find out that wax was used.
Oh well, I wish him luck with the sale.

All I noticed was it is an Acuphase C200, a very fine preamp.

The seller omitted the "flux capacitor" part.

You guys are so much into trying to understand the scientific interpetations that you failed to realise the real picture, that is one good deal on a very good piece of equipment. Probably a person who didn't know much so they just found a website and copied and pasted the techincal info. But one thing is certain, accuophase is no joke regarding quality. If I lived close what you would see is SOLD.

In fact here is the the actual link to where the person copied the info, including the pic!

Here is a link from Japan, kind of like AK only Japanese version notice the top listing stating that 2 or 3 thousand dollars is to low more like 5000 dollars

Another link stating the Accuphase C200x the best preamp ever made.

The oringal poster IMO should have not posted that to make fun of the listing but instead should have tried to grab that item if he lived close as soon as possible. If he didn't want it for himself he could resell it and use the profits for some to fund something of lesser quality to add to his own stash.

I already know that. Just don't have 5 bills to spend on a pre amp right now.
Oh thats to bad that things worth about ten times what the seller is asking. One thing is certian if it is made by Accuphase, it is a great piece of equipment. I don't think anything made by Accuphase is cheap. If I knew you I would paypal you the money for you to pick it up for me, with some extra and they you could ship it to me! I would really like that to replace my older Mcintosh C28.
One thing you have to wonder is what the actual item for sale looks like as far as condition. Since they used the pic of their item from the website it might not be in great shape, but it might be, maybe they don't know how to use a PC to upload pics. Maybe some family member selling off something from a deceased person. But in most cases, top of the line gear is owned by very wealthy individuals and they usually take very good care of their equipment. Someone needs to contact that person who lives close, if they had that preamp they might also have the rest of the gear that was used with it. Accuphase amps are just amazingly expensive and will sell to Asian markets at unbelievable prices.
Below is a link to a newer version of that preamp. A unit for sale on audiogon, asking price 12,000 dollars the unit was 30,000 when new.

Here's another thing that's for certain... If that thing is worth 10X what he's asking for it, then here in SoCal it would've been gone WAY before I ever posted about it. The competition is nothing if not fierce and deep pocketed around here.
I would be willing to bet its already gone, the one thing bad about CL is people don't remove their post when an item is sold. At least with ebay when the auction is over it automatically ends the sell. Same way with the ebay BIN listings. But with CL a person has to go in and personally delete the posting. I can't count the number of times I have responed to a CL listing to find the item was already sold and the buyer just had not removed the listing. Some CL posters are more considerate and they know that its a problem, they will state that if the listing is still their its not sold, because many people like myself have gotten so tired of responding to CL listings that have been sold and not deleted. I will check and see if the item is still for sell, and see what other items they might have.
