FS: eXemplar Audio modded Denon 2900 - fully loaded!`

Well, the upgrade bug has hit again, and this time I'm stepping up to the Denon 3910 from eXemplar Audio. That means I have to sell off the stunningly good 2900 to fund the upgrade. Here's what this unit has and will include:

Full eXemplar Audio modified unit worth $3500.
Siltech output wiring: $450 mod, not included in the stock mods.
Dual Rhodium output jacks on the rear of the unit. I had these added as they're quite hard and resistant to damage. Worth about $120 for the jacks alone.
(1) pair of NOS Amperex E180CC pinched waist tubes - worth $150, but I will throw them in with this unit. Stunningly good tubes which John Tucker himself says were the best he ever heard. Musical tubes with some nice warmth and awesome sound.
(3) pairs of standard Amperex E180CC/7062 tubes - worth about $60 - more accurate than the pinched waist, but less musical overall. My favorite tube, so I'll include (4) NOS tubes plus the used pair in the unit. (E180CC/7062 tubes are good for 10,000 hours, and this supply will last a lifetime!)
The stock feet were rather cheap, so I'll also include a quad of IsoBearings worth a little over $100.

Total value of all this is well over $4000, and I'm asking $2200 for this unit, which includes free shipping within the US. PayPal adds 3% if you choose to avail yourself of it.

The unit will be available right after the SoCal meet being held on August 13th. If you're attending the meet and will agree to bring the unit it can be bought now.

Photos available upon request.

If you're interested in how good this unit sounded with the pinched waist tubes please refer to the SoCal thread from last year:

Bump. I'd also like to add two things:

1. The remote control and manual are also included, I just forgot to add them to the original post.

2. John Tucker recently came out with two other mods for this unit: the post-DAC filter mod, and an op amp upgrade. These cost $250 and $300 respectively. As a favor to me John will give a rather nice discount to the buyer of this unit who chooses to have the new mods done to make it sound even better. (PM or email with info on the discount and such if you're an interested buyer.)
