A very good remote controllable integrated amp at 1/4 the new price.
I'm selling my Cullen modded PS Audio C-100 integrated amp. The C-100 is a very similar amp to the well known GCC-100 with fewer inputs, using Icepower modules also used in the Rowland 102, among others, and a Gain Cell front end. The amp is in great condition cosmetically and functionally, an easy 8. Cullen built these originally for PS Audio before they were DC'd and Cullen created Wyred 4 Sound to build their own Icepower amps, so they know these things inside and out.
This amp uses Icepower modules and Gain Cell attenuation to provide high power that will drive just about any load cleanly, while using very little power and running very coolly. It does all this in a very small package that is about the size of a large book. Perfect for small spaces yet robust enough for tough loads- it will drive 2 ohm loads to around 300 WPC!
•100 watts x 2 into 8 ohms
•200 watts x 2 into 4 ohms
•dual independent regulated supplies
•3 sets of RCA Inputs
•Pre-outs for subwoofer or second amp
•No attenuator in signal path
•Gain Cell™ technology
•remote control
•8-1/2"W x 2-3/4"H x 16-3/8"D
This unit has had full Cullen Circuits mods done to it, which is a significant improvement in clarity and dynamics over the stock unit.
Mods:
•Install 4ea WBT 0765 insulated output binding posts
•Install 2ea WBT-0210cu Next Gen Signature RCA jacks on the #1 input
Plus:
Installed Cullen Circuits modified gain cells. Gain Cell upgrade includes the following:
•Replace 28 resistors with Dale Rn55d copper leaded parts. These are all matched to .1%.
•Replace 3 semiconductor devices with upgraded parts yielding an improved bandwidth and decreased harmonic distortion.
•Replace two electrolytic capacitors with audio-grade Muse caps.
•Replace 12 resistors on the main board with Dale Rn55d copper leaded parts.
•Wire the speaker outputs with Kimber TCX 15 AWG multi gage/strand OFC wire.
•Install ERS EMI/RFI suppression paper
•Six hours total labor.
There are a total of 66 new upgraded parts in the Gain Cells alone.
Amp was $1600, mods $750, total cost over $2300.
I've owned 5 PS Audio Icepower amps over the years, modded and unmodded and they have never given me an ounce of trouble. They are bulletproof designs, and their cool running adds to their longevity.
It has very smooth, clean sound, with great bass power and control.
It is pretty tough to beat the sound, build quality and convenience of this amp at this price- less than 1/4 of new. An ideal "backup" amp, too.
At my price I'll even pay shipping to cont. US and Paypal fees.
Thanks for having a look.
