I have for sale one stereo power amp made by Nelson Pass with currently unobtanium SemiSouth Static Inductor transistors (SIT): First Watt SIT-3.
Limited run of 250 pieces, already sold out in bare 2 months of production.
18w of SIT class A, with unusually high damping factor so very good at controlling difficult speakers. I would say anything over 90db/w sensitivity is a speaker good to go with.

Lots of very positive impressions world wide:

Lots of effort to "tune" 2HD and to emulate a triode sound (whatever this means) while having benefits of solid state (lower running costs). Class A but doesn't get unreasonably hot so plain 10cm above lid is enough (much cooler than F3 I used to own).
The unit for sale (sorry for bad pics, I need to wait for a better daylight)

One month old, barely run in. Fully boxed with all the papers as delivered from the US. You are basically buying a new unit.
European RRP 5000 EUR. Asking 3570 EUR delivered to London area, plus additional costs of local UK shipping. I would appreciate if you could organize courier and accept responsibility for this part of transport. Payment by bank transfer or PPG, whatever you prefer.
