You really have to look at the numbers. SinglePower has a lot of amps out there - hundreds, if not more. Because of the sheer numbers, you get turnover in the used market. Sometimes people sell when they'd rather not.
Other amps, like the Zana, are very limited in production. I got mine in January and it is number 46. There has been (I think) another run since, but I doubt there are more than 60 in existence. Further, the Zana is unconventional and there's nothing else quite like it outside of DIY. Even in DIY, there are few headphone amp designs using the 6C33C.

Perhaps as you say it may just be the stimulus of CanJam, or do Single Power have something thats addictive that i've not cottoned on to? As i've never owned or listened to one it just makes me curious. |
