    Default FS: F-117 Nighthawk Phono Stage - MC/MM Battery Powered

    I have for sale my Ray Samuels F-117 Nighthawk phono stage. I've owned this from new. It's in great condition - the olny area of comment concerns the hex bolts on the front - they have lost some of their black paint, probably something to do with when the unit was originally assembled. I little black ink or dab of paint would sort it very easily. It's really minor....you can see a fair representation in the top photo. There are no scratches, the odd line is the photos is due to the brushed finish. The battery really does last a long time, for me it's a lot longer than a week. The charger has the original US plug so I'm including the US to UK adapter I've used.

    There is info at the Ray Samuels site here: http://www.raysamuelsaudio.com/products/f-117.html

    It's a great sounding, quiet (battery) flexible phono stage. Small too.

    It's new price is $795 and that's without duty/VAT & shipping. I'm selling mine for what I believe is a super bargain £230 including UK insured postage. Someone buy it before I see sense and put the price up! I'm selling in the spirit of trying to give a fellow enthusiast a bargain.

    I don't know that one Clive. It looks very versatile and well made. Nice item. A good price too.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
