Its with a heavy heart I list this for sale... Dont want to but needs must!
This is a true high end piece of kit that exudes quality, chassis is made from brushed aluminium & the solid aluminium fascia is 1/2" thick!
Featuring 5 line level inputs, 1 line level output & 1 pre-out for use with a power amplifier. Also a headphone output & 4 five way binding posts... All connections are gold. Its a very good design using entirely discrete circuits (no horrid opamps here!) & overspecified parts.
The power supply uses a 400VA torroid transformer so there is plenty of grunt on tap. The power amplifier is heavily biased into class A which gives 12wpc in pure class A + 40wpc class AB.
Made in france dating from appox 1998. The entire amplifier has been recently serviced, The following work has been carried out :
New OMRON relay fitted - All capacitors replaced, PSU caps replaced with 105c industry standard type & Signal caps replaced with Nichicons finest - Selected resistors in the signal path replaced with KIWAME - Volume control & Input selector cleaned & lubricated - Bias & DC offet reset to factory spec.
Includes original remote control & box - Regarding the condition of the amplifier I think the pictures speak for themselves, I cant find a mark on it.
Also listed on eBay but that lot dont know a good amp from a shoebox...
Asking for £200 + £10 p&p.
