There are three F-1X preamps on eBay right now.  Don't think I've ever seen that many at once.  For those of you who've been thinkin' about it, ya may wanna check this out.  I've had mine a couple years and I'm loving it.

Yeah ...I saw it too.
I know a guy who really wants to buy one over here in EU ...but -as usual- no sale to EU.

Paul, you can point your friend to http://muziek.2dehands.nl/markt/4386356.html?q=alembic,
but I don't know if it is still for sale.

Paul, your friend should ask the seller. It's not a big problem to ship a preamp to Europe. And payment is most easy with Paypal. And the times is right to buy 'cause Euro is high rated!
