Aesthetix IO Signature Cardas Modded Telefunken Mullard

Selling this Aesthetix IO for a friend. All photos are of the actual unit for sale. I have many more images, please message me with your email address if you'd like high res versions.

   History of the unit: This unit was George Cardas's personal reference phono pre. He had upgraded it with his Cardas caps. Unit has all 18 NOS Mullard Box Plate 12AX7's (CV4004's) from Upscale, as well as a pair of gold pin Telefunken E88CC's. JJ Tesla EL34's in the PSU and Russian 6SN7's. That's easily over $2700 in NOS tubes alone. Tubes have only a few hundred hours on them. Unit operates flawlessly and the owner is only selling it to finance an upgrade in his system.
 Cosmetic condition: See Pix. There are a few scuffs and scratches here and there, but the faceplates are nice. Two faint marks on the Phono faceplate, only really visible under bright, direct light. These can not be felt. A few very small dings to one top edge. There is a scratch on the back of one unit, and a few scuffs on the bottom of the main unit and PSU. I have a ton of high res pics i can email for anyone wanting them, just message me. (The listing limits photos to 16).
