I will accept Best Offer too relative to my asking price and if in the ballpark.  So think about it and give me your best offer!  A steal of a deal.  Like brand new and honestly, probably not completely broken in, given my hours I used it.  And I never put it though any burn-in or run-in sequences before I started using it.

Purchased in December of 2018 from NeedleDoctor. It has seen very limited use since purchasing. I used it strictly for benchmarking the sound in the studio as I went through several phases or rounds of building my high fidelity studio sound. Now that all of that is over and I have the studio sound 'locked and sealed', I do not need it anymore for referencing. But the Rogue Ares Magnum sound is phenomenal, folks! I found it to be very musical with plenty of impact and texture to the sound which is what I needed the studio sound to become. And thanks to the Magnum, I have that now!  Very good presentation overall and where it really stood out to me was with 80's and newer Pop sounds with a lot of electronic synthesized sound mixed with acoustic and real instrument.  Wow!  But overall, it could handle anything I threw at it and really delivered. So probably no more than 25 hours usage total. Kept in smoke-free environment. Includes original unused factory JJ ECC82 and 83 tubes brand new!  Also, I can recommend the NOS tubes I used, if you are interested.  

Includes: Original stock tubes (unused JJ ECC82's and 83's and brand new). Will test before shipping. Original manual and complete factory packaging.
