| Which one would you buy It should be noted that SkyFi did NOT refurbish this amp. They only tested it and changed the volume pot. | |
| Which one would you buy @kymanor1 Thanks. I guess. don't waste your money on either of them. CJ has amazing integrated. | |
| Which one would you buy @squared80 1. They were the only two that are refurbished at the time of posting. 2. I wanted to draw attention to the price difference. Why have you narrowed it down to these two. | |

| Which one would you buy @devinplombier We all hate the Alps BV! I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. | |
| Which one would you buy @devinplombier I think what they mean by untested is that they can't guarantee the condition of the tubes. They're working but they don't know the specs. It's barely an issue. It also looks like they're not the rebuilders–just reselling it.. | |
