I have a couple of these from a shop that used to sell Melos back in the day - they had found two of these SHA GOLDs in storage room - holding one one for myself...
6299 based preamp that has Single Ended and Balanced out (true balanced out too). This apparently was the best headphone amp on the planet a few years back.
All working perfectly - all original. Comes with pair of 6n23 tubes. Unit does not have a phonostage. Comes with non original programmable remote (not one shown).
$850 + ship. Ship or pickup in west sub of Chicago.

Yes, I thought of that, but many do not know of it's potential as a Tube balanced Preamp...
I don't do headphones, but I know many do still love the pre as a headphone amp...
Maybe I will post there anyway! Thanks

There was a fellow named Carlos who modded them a couple decades ago, after which they were called Maestrobaters. People may ask you about it, so don't be alarmed 😉
Yes, I read about Carlos and his Maestrobaters...he mysteriously disappeared...
Lots of theories...Witness Relocation Program? Russian KGB?
