Sherbourn Audio PT-7030 Pre-Amp with HDMI (6 in 2 out) [Expired]

Sherbourn PT-7030 7.1 Pre-Amp (has HDMI, 6 in 2 out)

Hello fellow audio enthusiasts –

Up for sale is a Sherbourn PT-7030 7.1 channel pre-amp. 
I am the original owner.  This originally retailed for $1,799.

Sherbourn was bought out by Emotiva, which also makes some great direct sale audio equipment.  I bought this pre-amp from them new for $900 about 3 years ago when they were liquidating their newly acquired Sherbourn inventory.  Recently I upgraded for Dolby Atmos to run a 9.2 channel surround system, so I no longer have use for the unit. 
It has served me well up until now.

The unit is in near-new condition without any issues. 
I am offering it for $360, which is 20% of the original retail price.

It has 6 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs.
It also has balanced outputs, which is very hard to find for under $2000 in a surround sound pre-amp.  This worked well for me since I used a committed two-channel heavy duty amp for my main speakers that has balanced inputs, and then a separate surround amp for the other 5 channels that used unbalanced or RCA type inputs.  This unit allowed me to feed the main amp with the more serious balanced inputs while feeding all the other channels with the unbalanced ones.

The sound quality is fantastic in both stereo and surround.
