That unit sold in about an hour. Motivated selleer.
I've had one for sale for a month at $1825. Don't know why it hasn't sold yet. 2 months ago I was being offered $1850 and was holding out for $1950, bad move. I guess it is just the laws of supply and demand. The 5i IS a great preamp so there were probably many of them sold. Now many people are moving up to the 50SE like I did. That puts lots of 5is on the market. I firmly believe that the 5i competes with or outperforms any preamp available on the used market for less than $2500 and will hold out for a good sale price (e.g., >$1600)
