Torii value (Read 7802 times)

CK722 Seasoned Member Posts: 105	Torii value 02/10/15 at 21:21:17 In your opinion, how much is a Torii MKIII that was factory upgraded to MKIV w/stepped attenuator? This is assuming it rates 9 out of 10. Thanks!

If it has Jupiter Caps, I'd pay $2000 max, essentially 1/3 off new retail, but I would assume the seller wants more. Below is one from Canada without the MK IV upgrade and he's asking $2700 CAD with a bunch of extra tubes.

I bought my new Torii MK IV for $2975 plus an extra $100 for the upgrade to KT-66 tubes...$90 for S&H in August/September of 2013. Keep in mind that you'll not have a warranty unless you send it to Steve, which will probably add another $150 to $200. Mark.

PS...or you could make an offer on this MK IV if still available. The post is from 2/8/2015... https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1422504580

mark58 Seasoned Member Posts: 5647	Re: Torii value Reply #3 - 02/10/15 at 22:13:43 Riv, I agree. Recently a Torii went for $1600...I think it was a MK IV but I may be mistaken...it was a steal. I figure the MK IV upgrade alone cost $500. $2000 would be my max but I'd probably make a lower offer initially. In a while, we may see lots of used Toriis on the market when the MK V comes out. Mine's not going anywhere. Mark.

mark58 Seasoned Member Posts: 5647	Re: Torii value Reply #7 - 02/10/15 at 23:59:04 Riv, so true. Upscale Audio was selling those rectifiers for $50 each the first time I looked but when I went there recently to buy some, he was selling them for $95 each...I passed. Did you notice the listing only lasted about 20 minutes before it was sold. Mark. http://www.upscaleaudio.com/philips-5r4gys-made-in-holland/

I'm on a search for second amp and I'm wondering if it would be a little less $$ to buy a used one and have Decware change the transformers when transferring warranty
