    Very difficult decision for me, but I've decided to sell my EC Black Widow amp from the second run. This is an incredible solid state amp that was available in limited quantities and deserves all of the praise it gets. It's been sitting on top of Gungnir Multibit since the day I received it, so needless to say it is spotless. I still have the original box and foam cutouts that it was shipped in a few months ago. I'd like to see this to go to a good home. $1300 plus shipping for the amp. PM me if you're interested!

    Naa, look at it. Something placed in a case that ugly can't sound good. I'll buy this amp for 100 bucks, that is my final offer.

    Going big?

    I'll say I love the BW2 paired with a top tier Delta sigma DAC. I liked the Vega in exact mode but I like the PWD MK2 and VI DAC even better.

    I can tell you guys first hand that @brencho has been agonizing over this sale. So get it while it's still available before he has second thoughts!

    agreed! just sold the BW to @ibzrg1570 who came by my place in oakland today to pick it up. awesome awesome guy, he'll be hooking up the BW to a Modi 2Ü for now. he mentioned he heard your BW+ViDAC down at CantJam, and loved that pairing as well. i'm sure the BW will treat him right. the great thing about sbaf is you know that beloved pieces of gear will find make their way to the good homes of friends.

    If you have a Vi DAC and want the NOS firmware from the meet, let me know and I'll see if I can get you a beta version for the DAC :)
