Creek Destiny Integrated Amplifier w/MM Phono Plug-In Card

A near-perfect example of the revered Creek Destiny integrated amplifier, and this *includes* the MM plug-in phono stage that had to be purchased separately ($500).  The only notable flaw is a pair of slight scratch marks on the underside of the unit (see pictures). The amp, remote and phono board have performed flawlessly for me since purchased in 2007 - but I since have moved and have a bigger room and much more power-hungry speakers (B&W 803Ss) that necessitate me moving up the chain, power-wise. 
Though not pictured, I do have the original manual and remote (remote is also in 9/10 condition and I can provide a picture if you'd like).  Also, the box does not include the styrofoam - however, I will wrap the unit in bubble wrap and surround with packing peanuts.  I can also double-box at purchaser's additional option/cost.  Buyer to add 3% for PayPal unless "Friends and Family" transfer is chosen (or certified check or money order sent).

ORIGINAL PRICE $2795.

"The Creek Destiny is a must audition for those searching for an integrated amp in the increasingly crowded and increasingly competitive $2000 and up market. Its ability to drive real world speaker loads, extract premium performance from the CD format, the versatility of its preamp modes, and its exceptional musically communicative performance make it an easy and obvious recommendation." - Paul Szabady, Stereo Times, Nov. 2006

"…this amp is particularly clear at all times: but the way it can grab ahold of a pair of speakers and control them with real confidence does indeed seem to improve the rhythmic performance of the whole audio chain. The end result is that anything with a danceable beat really does get the feet moving involuntarily." – Richard Block

"We were particularly impressed with the Destiny amplifier. It has an effortless and seamless coverage of the audio band." – Hi-Fi Choice

"What a great little amplifier. The Destiny packs a powerful punch, with strength, bass depth and rhythm, yet also finesse and musical analysis. Chameleon-like, it simply delivers music in an enjoyable but deceptively un-fussed way. It seems to have no hidden vices and astutely avoids the ragged grainy sound of some transistor amplifiers. There is nothing to criticise at its price point. It will almost certainly out-perform amplifiers at higher prices and it looks good too." – David Berriman, Hi-Fi News, June 2006, www.hifinews.co.uk
