:yes: Love that kind of stuff, I assume its a crt or digital display...reminds me alot of an oscilloscope. Really expensive, but may be worth it

It's a new-in-sealed-box Sequerra model one. No, it doesn't have HD. But it is one of the better tuners on the planet, and mighty cool looking. If I were loaded, I might like to try one in my rack, too. Don't know that he'll get his price, but you never do know. Sequerras ain't cheap.

There are people who buy $5K tuners and just let them sit around in the box and never listen to them?
I guess that's not much different than that Bugatti sitting in the garage that never goes anywhere...
But if it was never opened, how do you know what is in it? If the new owner keeps it 'original unopened' for investment purposes, that could be a myth perpetuated for ages... centuries...
One day, it will be opened up by aliens to find a brick with 'Kilroy was here!' painted on it.
The brick will become a priceless archaeological relic and the undecipherable message the subject of endless speculation on why all intelligent life on the 3rd planet died out. :headscrat

Ah, to be the owner of a major and long-successful casino, who could afford to buy this on a whim just to satisfy my curiosity...
But alas, I am but a mere mortal without such pocket change to squander, so I shall surely wander through life wondering what might have been...
At least I might eventually get to read about who bought it and for how much (if lucky!). Personally, I'd have to have "silly money" to spend that much on a tuner, for the reason already mentioned: there aren't that many stations out there broadcasting music that I want to hear, in a sufficiently high-quality format, to justify it. Five hundred or maybe, just maybe, a thousand dollars (but even that is probably a stretch), but over $7K? For just a tuner, when there are so many other things I'd rather have first for that money? Not in the financial realm I inhabit today!
But for the person who can already afford whatever they want, and who wants to get THE BEST tuner they can find, and something "special" that not many can own, well, that is an excellent candidate! :yes:

Dunno, don't sit and stare at my sources all too often, but if that's your thing...
There's nothing wrong with buying expensive sources if you can afford them, is there? There's a few $10K CD players on the 'Bay as well, but those are out of my reach also.

Hmmmm literally about 30 times what I could ever spend on a tuner but I bet it's really great considering he designed the Marantz 10b. Now seeing as I do have a station that is relatively uncompressed that plays jazz, roots and world music I'd love to have a super tuner. In fact I'd settle for a mere Sansui TX1.

Gee, I haven't checked in here in for awhile...
It's for guys who wanted it when it was new, couldn't afford it, but now have retirement capital. I saw it and heard it - late 70's I think. Built with military specs...everything else looked like toys. I'd buy for a couple of hundred if I stumbled across a sleeper, no more. I like it, but don't have that nostalgia thing in my blood.
