For Sale: Quad Vena II boxed
I bought this from Grant last August and it has performed faultlessly, only selling as I have gone down a Class A amp rabbit hole now.
Here's Grant's original listing:
https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?70112-FS-Quad-Vena-2-integrated-amp-dac-pre&highlight=quad+vena
"Can be used as a preamp or full integrated amp. has aptX bluetooth, and an es9108 sabre dac doing up to dsd 256 as well as usb 384"
In lovely condition (see photos for some marks on one side), fully working and with original packaging - remote also now has its battery cover (thanks Ian). It also has original instructions and cd.
Price is £430.00 including shipping to UK destinations payable by paypal friends and family gift.
Specifications:
Preamplifier Section
Analogue Inputs 2x line-level RCA /
1x MM phono Analogue Outputs1 x RCA (pre-out)
Analogue Input sensitivity450mV (line-level) /
4.1mV (MM phono)Analogue Input impedance10kΩ (line-level);
47kΩ / 100pF (MM phono)Frequency Response20Hz-20kHz (+/- 0.5dB)
