Up for sale my Quad Vena II. Bought in October 2019 from Bartletts HiFi, I'm the first owner. This is a quite remarkable amp for the money considering it has a built in Sabre DAC and a very decent MM phono stage. Full specs here:

Helluva buy for some one. It will run big or small speakers, power hungry or not. Dac is sublime, phono stage is more than adequate. Every reviewer out there that has tested one has raved about it.

Excellent amp.
I swapped mine with the new Vena Play, which has the Spotify/Tidal facility embedded.

Thanks for your opinions gents, it is indeed a very good amp. Given the current situation I've priced it to include delivery which, from past experience I'm assuming will be around £25 fully insured so the amp is £475, a very keen price. :)

My new amp/dac/streamer has arrived and is working very well so the Vena needs to go. I'll now offer free post and packing which reduces the price to £475 delivered. The cost of a new one is £649 so this 6 month old Vena is a bit of a bargain.

Thanks Phil, it certainly is a good amp. Times are hard but I think this is fairly priced so I suppose I'll just have to be patient. If anyone is tempted to make a near offer I'll listen. I've replaced this with an amp/dac/streamer that costs more than 4 times as much but certainly isn't 4 times better!

Not a near offer, been trying to stop myself as cash is short, i can do £425 without selling anything first, this amp solves lots of problems for me one big one being space, will understand if you say sod off.

Cheers Chris
