I paid $300 for a nice looking pair. They have been selling on e-bay for around $450 and a pair in a project box went for over $1K recently. A guy named capn bob sells them in a nice project box with switching for around $600. the 15095a has been going for around $150 and I have been told they sound very good. The funny thing is that my cartridge output is .7mv and I thought it would overload the preamp but I have them wired for 1/18 ratio and they sound great and the seduction handles it fine. I think it may be that the effective load is close to the internal imp of the cartridge thus reducing the output but I dont really know. The only problem Im running into is a low level groung hum that is barely audible but I cant seem to get rid of it altogether. Im going to try enclosing them in an aluminum box for a shield and see if that works.
