I'm just wondering how much demand there is for one since I'm thinking about putting mine up for sale. I bought it new for $1333 after the review came out in Stereophile in the '90s. (http://www.stereophile.com/headphones/261/index.html) Also, I'm working on making 15 posts in order to be able to post to the for sale forum.
 
Thanks for letting me know.

You'll likely have far better luck selling this amp on audiogon, where the old Stereophile reviews & ads hold sway and will even be remembered (by some). On head-fi, I'd think the interest would be more geared towards its place in headphone history; you'll have some curious about the sound. I had a '97 Max several years back; it was a VERY warm (even dark) sounding unit, even with the "brightness" filter engaged. It's one of the amps I think of when recalling examples that break the typical stereotypes of "SS == Bright" and "Tubes == Warm". Their 2004 Max had a completely different tonal balance.
