Maybe it's something to do with my thought processes being over-cautious, but I often find that by the time I've settled on something, it's unobtainable.
The latest item in question is a Unico 50 integrated amp which, after much deliberation, I decided to buy (in black) for my second system. After contacting three stores I find it's now been superseded and is no longer available. I can get a silver one but black matches the rest of my equipment.
I've been offered other Unico models at very good prices, but the other reason I wanted the 50 is because it uses BJTs not MOSFETs.
So it's back to the drawing board...unless anyone knows of one for sale, in which case please let me know!
