Talk electronics Tornado mk2 power amplifier upgraded

[jasonC]

Oh my
I wrote a nice ad and uploaded
Lots of pictures only to be told i had to log in again,lol

Anyway for sale is my talk electronics Tornado mk2 stereo power amp , i had it upgraded by a professional as i do not know how to service amps.
The guy added extra caps as he told me it
Would improve the sound and it made the amp
Much smooth and open which before
The upgrade never crossed my mind.
He also did other checks.
Feet were also changed.
Pictures show the new caps and feet.
Its a really lovely amp
I am selling it for the same reason as my xindax amp, for family issues.
I hope it goes to someone who will value it.
The amp does have some cosmetic stretches on the casemark but nothing mayor.
A black marker would cover them
I made a video showing the casework
So you can clearly see the condition.
The amp works flawlessly.
I used a one meter length ms-hd silver plated mains lead that i bought from mains cable r us.

Delivery will be at cost or collection is fine.
I live 10miles outside Portsmouth near Havant Town.
Price for the amplifier £350

Where's the ad for the Xindac amp, I'd like to see it please?

[jasonC]

It's long sold mate so was removed.
I miss that amp as such a lovely sound.
I recommend xindax to anyone.
The buyer got a real bargain
He was blown away by the sound
So at least i know it has gone to
Someone who will enjoy it.
With the upgrades this amp has
Some of the xindax magic.

[Lawrence001]

Ah think I remember that was it the one that was nearly new but picked up a scratch?

[jasonC]

Yes that was the one.
I bought it new from audio emotion in scotland
For £1599. Worth double that
Great shop to deal with

[jasonC]

But it maybe where i read that was wrong
If you search online the mk2.2 has a manual

[Lawrence001]

Seems like a bargain, these were very well reviewed at the time and with the upgrades should sound even better.

[jasonC]

It does, it has great grip and control.
Is not bright,
Has real life but i like a very light sound
So using a temple audio power now.
As i listen mostly to classical piano
And folk i do not mind a less
Powerful bigger sound.

I assume this sold Jason?
