EAR (Esoteric Audio Research) 890

This listing is for one EAR 890 stereo amps that was purchased new from Dan Meinwald in 2006. All tubes tested as 98% new with KT-90s, all EI originals.  It has 1000+ hours on it.  The expected life span of these tubes is 2000+ hours (Tim Paravacini said 5,000 hours). Current price to replace all 12 tubes is $800+.

I know that I rated it at an 8. The chrome plating and tube cages are in perfect condition, no checking or corrosion.  A 9 but for it's age.   Mint looking.  Non-smoking house.  

The expected shipping cost would be $200 to $275, depending on distance.
An actual cost can be supplied to the buyer prior to purchase.

Discount for Local Pick-Up

My other unit that sold for $4,000 included local pick-up discount, no box and EH new tubes.
