Allnic L4000 tube preamp - Mint Condition - OVER 70% OFF!!!!

Please read this ENTIRE AD as I have tried to cover most questions on this exceptional component.        
THE PRICE OF THIS PREAMP IS $3,850 ... I couldn’t edit after making a mistake with the price.  
Very rare Allnic L-4000 tube preamp available in MINT CONDITION (it will be hard to even find dust on mine)

The Allnic L-4000 is an upgraded version of the Allnic L-3000 Mk 2 but the L-4000 has larger/better transformers. The L-3000 Mk 2 had a retail price of $13,900 and the L-4000 had a price of $14,200.

I am the second owner of this preamp and as stated it is in Mint condition both cosmetically and operationally. In fact, as the previous owner misplaced the remote, Allnic provided me a brand new remote. It was only used once to verify it works and then placed back in its protective sleeve.

Why am I selling?
I thought this was my last preamp and then I foolishly auditioned an Absolare Passion preamp ($26,000). In my quest for the best I bought the Absolare and now must offer the Allnic to a new home. Is the Absolare better ..... yes it is. Is it TWICE AS GOOD? No not even close. I would easily say the Allnic is 90-95% as good as the Absolare but as we all know that extra few percent is very expensive.
I do not know the exact age of the preamp but I believe it was late 2009. I do not know tube age but I have used them only once or so a week before I purchased the Absolare.
I have over 11 years and 125 perfect transactions on Audiogon and numerous perfect transactions here under the same name “Naperaudio”. You’re working with an established Professional member who knows how to complete perfect transactions.

This is a FIXED PRICE LISTING ....... all PayPal, Shipping costs, etc are the responsibility of the buyer. I am taking a bath at 70% off and can’t reduce further. I only put “taking offers” to finalize shipping and payment options with the final buyer.                                                      Audition of this preamp at my home in Mokena, Illinois 60448 (a suburb of Chicago) is available.
