For Sale - Mystere Integrated Amp
These rarely come up for sale in UK and I am reluctant to sell but need to fund another hi fi buy!
The Mystere comes from the same stable as Prima Luna which I am sure many are familiar with. I bought it brand new from an approved dealer in the Netherlands and brought it back to UK by car. The amp has had light use, and for most of the time I've owned it the amp has had 1 or 2 hrs use per week maximum due to working patterns and being away from home. It is unmarked, and has been looked after like a baby! Any time I have taken it out of the rack I used the supplied gloves to avoid marking the superb finish. I tend not to move it too much at 25Kg!
The amp is a superb performer. I had a brief listen with El34's loaned from a friend but prefer the KT88's sound. It is currently equipped with a set of 6SN7 and KT88's from the manufacturer. With the KT88's it has balanced, detailed and natural sound. Tubes run in pentode mode with 50w per channel output, adaptive auto bias and switchable EL34 - KT88 output valves.
Pics… Not great quality, sorry I am a poor photographer...

The amp cost me £2,100. I am asking £1,400 which I think is reasonable considering it's in excellent condition and has been lightly used.
It will be boxed up in it's original packaging which is strong but I would not want to ship it as it weights 27Kg and would be very susceptible to damage.
I am sure the buyer will not be disappointed with this amp, it sounds superb and looks stunning.
PM me with any questions, happy to answer them.
