This is for the complete Shangri-La Jr. system, all tube amp and electrostatic headphones.
This is an incredible system, $8000. retail, and you will certainly not find a better set of headphones, let alone headphones AND dedicated amp than this at $4600.
I've gone up through the headphone 'food chain' over many years, and feel this system is the pinnacle, and about as good as you can get, short of the $40k Sennheiser and HiFiMan's own $50k Shangri-La Senior.
Outstanding speed, articulation, extension, etc., etc. - as you would expect from a top flight electrostatic system. The amp's a 40lb beast, but a true iron hand in a velvet glove. Unbelievable resolution and totally transparent to the signal you feed it. You will hear things in familiar recordings that you've never noticed before. (Here's a link to the Absolute Sound review which very accurately sums it up; https://www.theabsolutesound.com/ar...la-electrostatic-headphone-and-tube-amplifier
I'm focusing back to a mainly speaker-based system, so need to funds to make this happen.
Please note* - the shipping 'box' is actually a padded, custom 'flight case' with an outer box and looks like something right out of a Mission Impossible movie. It's BIG and HEAVY (25" x 28" x 16", approx. 55+ lbs) so PLEASE factor this in as buyer will pay shipping.
The amp is absolutely perfect, no marks, dings of any kind, the headphone has some normal 'wear' on the headband (I tried to take a pic to show this. ) I am the original owner, purchased new Jan. 2019. ** I will also include a brand new set of replacement earpads**
Be confident in your purchase from a long time Headfi & Audiogon member with all positive feedback.






















- no trades, low offers, etc. Also, I reserve the right NOT to sell to anyone with no or negative feedback.
Again, buyer pays actual insured shipping.
Thanks for looking!
