That is a great public service announcement Bottlehead! Hope someone here snags it. I almost did. But, have too many irons in the fire right now.

Very tempting. Priced to sell. Won’t last long.

Yes, I was tempted, too, but I have amps and speakers coming out of my ears over here. I'm hoping that one of the members here snags it.

I reached out about an hour after it was listed. Haven't heard back from the seller. I'm thinking someone got to it before me. Too slow again. :(

Annnnnd it’s gone. Seller updated the listing to sold. Hopefully someone here was able to grab it. Thanks for the heads up, bottlehead. 🙏

What I know is that some fortunate person named "Tony" drove to San Jose today, and bought it. That is one very lucky and happy guy!

Tony :)

Congrats, Tony! Keep us updated once you get it plugged into your system. Hopefully another used one pops up soon.

SOLD... at 20% off, for a mint DECWARE 25th Zen.
I would have thought this amp would have held it's value better.

Thoughts?

Could have been sold at the listed price for a myriad of reasons. Just happy the buyer/seller were able to help each other out.

I don't think it's a reflection of where the used market for Decware gear is heading. Prices are all over the place. [smiley=beer.gif]

Congratulations Tony!!  Looking forward to hearing your impressions on the new amp and also in comparison to your TORII MKIV.  I love both of my amps, but lately I’ve been using my Zen amp for daily/critical listening, and my TORII for scenarios where I need the extra umph for like parties, movies, and when my daughter wants to play games where I can really crank it up.

Are you familiar with the bid-ask spread when trading illiquid securities? I think that is what we are looking at here. There are lots of reasons why a seller may ask for less than the absolute max the market will bear.

@CAJames  Yeah, I'm familiar with bid-ask spreads. We're not talking about soy futures here though. Just imagine what their prices would be if Decware went public. Never happen I know, but yikes.    

I was just curious since I'm on the list for a 25th, and it would be painful to see a barely used 25th going for less than what I paid while waiting for almost two years.  

In the meantime I purchased a pair of Atma Sphere Class D (GaNFET) mono blocks. What can I say, I love boutique manufacturers. They should be arriving in a week or two. I can't wait to compare the two in my rig.

I missed several and finally just picked one up.  Not a 25th anniversary but very nice.  I'm happy to finally have one of these fine amps.  I'll probably play with it a few months and resell it.  --Jerry

Zoso, I've really wanted to demo a pair of the Atma-Sphere Class Ds. Please report back with your comparisons.

A seller might need the cash quickly so will sell it or less. Other times sellers like to give someone else a deal on used equipment.
