WTB: TDA1541 S2 Double Crown - Page 2

Oh, very funny, thanks for that Jean-Paul. I had thought to offer them here at a more reasonable price to enthusiasts. After receiving such low ball offers and now this I think I will just list them on EBay. I will list them at the weekend and pay 10% donation to DIY Audio.

May I ask how low ball were the offers ?

jotom750 · 14th January 2021, 07:04 AM

Many were less than I paid over ten years ago. Now I understand that things can go down in value, but the stuff I need for my Vfet project don't seem to have.

sumotan · 14th January 2021, 07:07 AM

Don't know what you paid for but then again it wasn't that cheap to begin with if I recalled.

jean-paul · 14th January 2021, 08:01 AM

It was around 90 Euro then but that quickly went up as the hype started.

Memory of 85 pieces normal TDA1541A that got stolen from me came back.

That is not what I had to pay I can assure you. I'm presently looking for original 2SJ74's what were they originally, $1 or so, can I buy some at that original price now? Anyway, I'm off to finish my time machine and go back to buy Tesla stock....

The value of things really changes I buy and sell things that were popular 10 years ago no longer sell while some things are always in demand.

Vfet is expensive I bought mine just before Nelson did showed his Vfet amp, I was lucky in our garbage container so I found a better Marantz that was broken in it was a single crown I also took the laser.

What you paid then does not matter now does it? No need to apologize or feel guilty, this is the capitalistic system. Anyone knows for sure S2 can be sold for a multiple of the paid price.

It must be a rare coincidence but the transistors you are looking for lay in front of me. The GR version.

jotom750 · 14th January 2021, 08:22 AM

Would you like to sell 10 or 15 ?

jean-paul · 08:26 AM

I would trade them for an S2

Seriously, please send me a PM. For all the others reading: please don't ask me for them as they are gone after today.
