I've managed to accumulate way too much gear, time to slim down.  Great amps, only selling because I'm sticking with SET for my high efficiency Vaughn Triode speakers.

Bought these amps a few years ago from a judge in Barbados.  A wealthy audiophile, he commissioned Tim to build them, so they may have some upgrades?  Not technical so I can't tell, but perhaps the photos will help the circuit savvy.

Smooth sweet sounding amps -- harmonically rich, nicely textured and palpable.  While not exactly tubes,  they do an excellent job of suggesting tubes, and are actually smoother and warmer than many tube amps I've heard.  Always a warm and engaging listen.  Definitely not bleached, cold, lean or sterile!

Typical Rawson build quality -- unfinished metal cases with some sharp edges.   Condition is very good, used in a pet / child / smoke free home.  I've seen many Rawson builds over the years,  and IMO these are by far the nicest.  As the photos show, no skimping on the innards, nor the case -- nice thick aluminum.  Really overbuilt. 

I've had them in rotation with several other amps, but I've logged a few hundred hours.  Dead quiet, completely reliable, never a hiccup.  Never.  Single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs.  60wpc of pure Class A power so they run very hot.  Power cords not included.

Asking $950.  I'll share shipping costs to lower 48 if my price is met.  Add 3% if PayPal friends / family is not used.  Ship from NY 11561, each box weighs about 30lbs.  Local pickup available, or I can drive reasonable distance to meet.

Perfect AG (spelly) and EBay (nyctoobluvr) feedback.  Sorry for the bad cell phone pics.

Thanks for looking.

~John

Hi, John.

Nice looking (sounding) amps, no doubt. Question for clarity:

Are they $950 each, or $950 for the pair?

Hi Michael.... These are mono (not stereo) amps,  so two are needed for a pair of speakers.  $950 for the pair.
