I have been thinking of getting a Red Wine Audio Isabella pre-amp w/ the Isabellina DAC and the HPA plus a Signature 30.2 thus something has to go. Up for your consideration are the following items:
1. Isabellina HPA which I purchased recently under the $2,130 deal offered by Vinnie and Ken of ALO. This unit was sent back to add the power out ($100 mod) with which I can power a Wadia i170. At the same time Vinnie added a 2nd set of RCA outs a mod for which he normally charges $200. So as you can see if you were to buy this now you would be paying $2,830 including S&H.
2. As part of the package I will include a gray Wadia i170. This unit retails for $379 plus S&H.
3. I will include an oxygen free copper power cable made by Ken of ALO. This 18" cable used to power the Wadia i170 from the Isabellina HPA will set you back about $80 w/ S&H.
4. I will also include a digital 18" BNC to RCA made by Blue Jean Cable using Belden 1694A cable. I paid a tad over $23 w/ S&H.
For those interested the play time of the Isabellina HPA w/ the PC or Transport feeding it is about 18-20 hours before needing to be charged. When using the Wadia i170 and powering it from the Isabellina the run time is about 12-14 hours before needing to be charged. This last number assumes the iPod is fully charged at start up, using Apple Lossless files, and no constant switching songs. That is a play-list or similar is used.
If you were buying all of the above it will set you back a over $3,300. I am looking for $2,600 including S&H w/ Insurance CONUS. Condition is a 9+ on the Audiogon Scale.
Payment would be via US Postal Service Money Order, Cashier's Cheque, or personal cheque (shipping to occur after the personal cheque clears). As an option the buyer could pay via Non-CC Paypal w/ verified address but would need to cover the 3.9%
The above would be shipped in two separate boxes, I have all of the original packing materials for both the Isabellina HPA and the Wadia i170. Here are a few pictures.
Thanks for looking.
