Hi,

I have an Aura VA80 looking for a new home, in full working order and very good condition, it does have a small dark patch on the polished fascia but it is only really visible if You hold it the right way in the light, it may polish out but I haven't tried as it's not obvious in normal use. Very hard to photograph with any detail due to the posh shiny finish.

Happy to pack very securely if You want to arrange a courier to collect.

Slightly crumpled manual included.

A surprisingly big sound for such a small unit.

£125 plus shipping. Or collect from Barry (with free cuppa chucked in)

Not much info online about this amp Rich, any chance you could flick through the manual and see what power it gives into 8ohms?

Aura was an offshoot of B&W and these were well regarded amps at the time.

For some reason the info from the Manual has completely missed the fact that the amp has a phono stage with phono input on the selector switch, odd.

maybe was an extra you could specify, or a mark 2 version?

Looks like you are spot on Grant, a bit of reading has thrown light on the fact that this is the LE version, the only model with a phono stage.

I'd be interested in a swap for a pair of headphones.

I was initially thinking of the usual suspects, Grado & sennheiser, but I'd happily be open to recommendations and suggestions.

Last try before I keep it, it's too good to let it go for less than £100.
