For swap: be!@#$%^& Headphone Amp

Yeah yeah, we all know about Deadringer stuff, lets not go there in this thread.

I have one of the original be!@#$%^& HA4000 headphone distribution amps. As in the ones when they were actually made in Germany. This is one of the few pieces of be!@#$%^& gear that people are usually not ashamed to say they own, and has its place in a surprising number of racks - including, according to the www, Cirque de Soleil it some of its past productions.

L&R in and through on the back, 4 front panel h/phone outs each with its own L, R mute and independently mixable TRS input, and 4 x 3 h/phone outs at the back. Look it up if you want more info.

In terms of price its probably not worth much more than $100 or so, probably less. I'd rather swap it for something interesting. Offers of Neve consoles will be considered, but I'm more thinking of DIY bits and pieces (JLM opamps or transformers, abandoned DIY projects, dead EQs or channel strips). All offers considered, but please don't be offended if rejected. I may end up shoving it on evilbay at 1c and seeing how it runs.

Let me see, how does it go .....

This fantastic piece of vintage gear is an absolute classic - you guys are crazy to miss out on it. Stuff yous all. The price is now $20,000 if you want to be amongst the elite few owning one of these rather than just dreaming about it.

Seriously, any last offers before evilbay?

I'm interested but I can only get around $18,000. Would this be an acceptable offer? I'll also pay the freight. If not I could pay it off in installments over the next 5 years.........but you can pay freight. It's up to you.

Sorry 13th, its been sold to a guy in a white truck who could front up the cash in used $20 notes provided I didn't expect any paperwork. Well, actually no, its gone to a fellow Turtlerocker for a fair price and a good new home where it will be cared for and used.

My h/phones now plug into my Apogee front panel. Ahhhhhhh

Mat,
I'll sell it to you for $17,000 - so, that will save you an extra 1000 ;-)

Arrived and racked already - shame my 003 is not functioning properly!!
I can't test it right now either..
