Well said sir. I could be tempted to sell my Liquid Carbon or perhaps my Liquid Crimes, but the price would be too high..

You should let the buyer decide if the price is too high, dear reddog

  I for one would consider selling it for 5'999 USD

I recently bought a Carbon for $800 but if I didn't I'd easily pay $1199 for a new one if there was a 2nd run.

Are they going for $800 now?!

 

[ButtUglyJeff]

I'm guessing that price is after taxes?

 

[heliosphann]

Thx for all the info guys. Guess I need to up my Hi-fi game, too much slacking! Time to redouble my efforts.

I was wanting to finally get a balanced amp and the $600—700 price point is plausible for me. Anything much more would be unlikely. Take it there's no really other comparable balanced amps to the Carbon at that original price point?

RSA SR-71b, @$650, would be a good one to consider.
I have not heard the SR-71b, but it is well regarded.. I do have the RSA HR-2 and the LC, they don't have identical sound sig, but I think overall SQ is comparable. HR-2 is only single ended, though (not a big deal to me...)

No, I put "WTB" for $800 and got a few offers.

 

[zachawry]

OK, that sounds a bit more reasonable. 

 

[DeLuX]

I'd probably trade my carbon for something interesting, like some sweet multibit dac or headphones. I have the audio gd nfb 28, and even though I like the carbon better I don't feel it being night and day. Allso I wish it was a little bit bigger and more substantial

 

[sujitsky]

OK, that sounds a bit more reasonable. 

Although mine came up to $850 (including EU duties and shipping costs).. So others might be in a similar boat regarding resale prices. Not selling mine for anything though

 

[conquerator2]

So I finally received my LC!
Initial impressions [like first 5mins], pairing is HE1000, Theta DS Pro Basic II DAC [R2R] and the Breeze DI-U8 as USB transport.
So,... 

I... this is staying. 

 
 
More substantial impressions later.

First 5 hours of burn in - so far my only complaint is the soundstage seems a bit closed in, lacking a bit of width and breath. I am digging the bass and especially the lower midrange, which is simply phenomenal. Treble is the smoothest I've heard the HEK so far but without any significant deficits at the extreme Reserving judgment on the rest for now. Will let it burn in
The tonality is just awesome
