This is the most sought after version. Black label. Take note of the many resistors. They are green. The lesser 80's TS9's selling for $500 won't show the insides. The seller does not want to show the brown resistors mixed in which is when the quality started to degrade as the parts ran out. I have another TS9 in another auction. That has the T chip. The t chip has more bite. The JRC is a little smoother. Both sound killer. Here is a video comparing the two:

It took me years to find one this good/working perfect. You can run the risk of buying blown/fixed/modded/cracked solder jointed ones etc but bid with confidence. It has dings, scrapes, chips etc.
