boo! the MT-602 has already sold through 
I always thought that XA-10 looked pretty cool, I just don’t have much use for it.
Good to see it back, tremendous deal. I grabbed one and passed along my XD-05 Basic.
Love the MT-601 at $45, there’s a lot of HFG folks that should grab that just to play with, very in the spirit.
The MT-603 would have had so much greater functionality with a pot on it, it always confused me - but could be a fun tube buffer input switch ahead of a SS headphone amp. Such good pricing here.

could you mod a pot on?
A few too many projects, and distance from this to take that on. I can set it on top of one of the Schiit Sys that I have not in use. I miss the simple times.

Yeah, kind of sad. That’s the only one I’d have been interested in. 601 doesn’t have enough juice for what I need. Oh well….

It’s been tried before. Not a mod I’d attempt myself.

Not the biggest markdown but it’s not one you see pop up. Just saying it’s out there
I could be wrong but these prices sound absolutely stellar.

I’m still confused by the Szalayi, because I loved it when I had it but the early gain in every other case causes sibilance for me… plus other spots in the FR… but it sounded fine to me. Still a mystery.
Correct that these are great prices, when I saw this earlier I thought the price was just for the Sza.
Oriolus has hit $300 before, but it’s several months between each appearance. The Sza hasn’t hit that even without cable, as far as I know, so whoever has that amount of money should give it a go. Unfortunately even at a great value, it’s way out of line with my budget.
This is one of those “I hope I can look away until it sells” listings.

I’ve heard good things about the Sza, notably from @JAnonymous5150 so this piqued my interest for sure. Alas, just as you, these are well out of my immediate budget.

Look away my friend. To good of a price to pass up. I know at @JAnonymous5150 was willing to send his on tour however, if there’s a chance I like it this was to hard to pass by. Will help keep my loses a lot lower if I don’t like it.
