How’s that for a former reference product. Bargain!
Interestingly, there are currently 14 NDSs on eBay uk right now, many around £2300 (£6250 in 2012) some even serviced with new screens.

I thought it was more like 500?
Doesn't seem there are going to be any more however, contrary to what everyone seemed to think last summer.
Is that… even legal?Well from their point view having a reference product being sold off at ridiculous prices doesn’t bode well for them or owners or dealers
I have spoken to UK sales representatives who have assured me and other dealer who invested that the offending units if being offered by bonafide dealers they were actively getting them to remove listings
Obviously if it’s second hand then nothing can be done excessive t for them to attain them on the QT
Or the manufacturing link with Naim.James, I think the manufacturing link with Clearaudio is the perceived issue. Nothing wrong with Clearaudio at all as they make superb decks, but it is an unexpected partnership and you have to wonder if the Solstice is a one off, and if so, what happens to long term support for spares / repairs. This could be of concern to some potential customers and put them off.
If I wanted a Clearaudio, I'd just buy the Clearaudio and do without the party frock. Although (editing) the new perspex fronted cases for the Solstice power supply and phono stage do look very good indeed.
Who are they trying to kid?
Their main purpose is to generate max profit to investors.
I'm not sure if they thought Clearaudio origin could be kept secret, or if they in fact have spelled this out at some point.
You are right! Blame senility, not a phone keyboard.
The boxes may be interesting for showing what more boxes will look like next year, However, you are right that, if the outcome had pleased Focal, we’d probably be hearing about Solstice 2 around now.
