Thanks, I had not realized they would bring that much for resale, lightly used.

Re: FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable
Thank you for the assistance, Jack, but my initial Google search turns up nothing for a Lucas Audio in the UK. Do you have a more specific location in the UK?

Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested
