Ladies and Gentlemen!
You killed this drop by an order of magnitude and now Aune’s agreed to a new price level. Ready your battle stations and man the harpoons.
If 42 more people join, the Aune T1 will be available for $109.
Post the link, tweet, and shout it from a mountain top! You need less than 50 people to join and everyone in the group saves an additional $2000. One tweet saves you $10 and $2000 for the group? Not bad.
You have 10 hours to get 42 more buyers. Godspeed.
WillWow, this is great. Someone go on over to Head-Fi and spread the word! I'm on the fence and I'll probably end up putting an order in before time runs out.
By the way, is this price without tax? And what about shipping?
There has been mention of this on Head-Fi and it's how I found out about this Massdrop however Head-Fi prohibits group buys and has removed any post with a link to this page.
This is the price without shipping. Shipping is probably between $10-$15 for the US, I don't know about international.
No tax! (Except in California?)
There's A LOT of information in this thread but this post is a simplified breakdown of the tubes you'll want to look at purchasing after getting this amp.

Tubes are love. I have another tube amp and I love being able to find new tubes which change the sound characteristics. It's sometimes dramatic and sometimes subtle but it's definitely something you can't do with a solid state amp.
