Up for sale here is a Slim Devices (since purchased by Logitech) Transporter, modified by ModWright Instruments.  It is something I've always said is an end-all, be-all source component, never to be parted with...however that time has come due to changing needs.  

It has a brand new display and display power supply.  It should be good to go for another decade of daily use (or more).  

I will include the following tubes:

- One matched pair of RCA 6BQ7A's (1970's), cryo'd by Kuhl Tube

I feel that these are the most ideal in this unit, yes even over *any* NOS 6SN7 variants.  You can decide for yourself.

- One matched pair of Sylvania 6SN7-GT two-hole "Bad Boys" (early 1950's)

The two-hole version is no different from the three-hole version from the same time period.  These are supposed to be some of the very best of this tube variant.

- One matched pair of gray glass RCA JAN CRC-6SN7-GT VT-231 (1940's)

According to the forums these are known to be the more euphonic of this tube variant, also up there with the best of the best.

- One Phillips 5R4GYS (1960's)

Upscale Audio still thinks this is the very best rectifier amongst the 5AR4/5U4G/GZ33/GZ37 variants, period.  I would whole-heartedly agree; I preferred it to the Emission Labs 5U4G (bass had more grit; more holographic).

- One Mullard GZ34 (Blackburn, 1960's) 

Many consider this to be one of the best all-around of the 5AR4/5U4G/GZ33/GZ34/GZ37 variants.

Considering what all is being offered here: the cost of the unit and modifications, the plethora of top-notch tubes, and the newly installed parts, I will just go ahead and presume that this is the most bang-for-the-buck source component offered on this site, bar none.  The sound quality and convenience that this offers is beyond anything I can think of, certainly (without a doubt) at the asking price.

The unit will come with a generic power cable, remote control and octal to noval adapters.  It has been reset to the factory defaults, just as it shipped, so will be ready for you to set up upon delivery.

For the time being, please ignore whatever AudiogoN tells you shipping costs will be - they will be calculated after the sale, based on your location, what packing supplies cost and what service you would like to go with.  

Thanks for looking, and please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever!
