Here's a fairly unique looking Threshold beast:
THRESHOLD Power Amplifier Class A 4000 200 Watt/Channel STASIS Stereo Power | eBay
Front panel is from 4000 amp, chassis looks like a 400, but it's got an "e series" upgrade sticker on it and balanced inputs added. They took the model and serial # sticker off the back of the chassis too. Lord knows what's under the hood. All for the low, low price of $5000...or feel free to make an offer.
I wrote the owner and noted all of these discrepancies and told him/her that they were definitely not selling a 4000, but no response and no change to the auction either.

This or a similar unit has been discussed recently in the forum, the
result being that it was decided that it was a genuine factory updated
unit.
This sort of thing points out why most manufacturers look askance at
updates to older product. I think that Threshold was fairly unique in
doing it at all.
That said, it is likely that this was a unit done on the side by an employee
without authorization and then sold. We had at least one such case.

Sounds like he got his idea from Johnny Cash.

Thanks Mr Pass. I wasn't aware of the previous thread. I took a look at that thread and found the interior shots interesting because they aren't available in the ebay auction.
I guess the news here is that it is now being sold on ebay as a 4000 when it is clearly an updated 400...two very different beasts.
