WTB: first watt F7, J2, or sony vfet DIY
« on: 28 Feb 2021, 11:07 am »
Dear all,

I'm looking for a used Firstwatt F7, J2 (non DIY or clone), or sony vfet DIY to pair with my Omega SAMs, after blow up the left channel when using chord Dave direct drive the SAMs.
cosmetics not so important.
Though I live in Vietnam. Paying will be thru  PAYPAL.

Goods will be shipped to a warehouse in Portland (I'll deal the shipping service to Vietnam) or FEDEX or whatever you found convenience.

Anyone have to let these babies go please drop me a PM.

Thanks all,
Tuan

Hi frm, usually it 10% vat and some minor fee for brand new stuff.
For used stuff it can be send as gift and have no fee.
Just make sure ur good not prohibited.
In my case it more like dometical shipping.

You may want to check in with Reno HiFi. They are a Pass/First Watt dealer. They have new,and used,demo units. I have no affiliation with them,but have heard great things about them.  I just purchased a lightly used J2 on another site,but was ready to pick up one of their J2 demos.

Best of luck!

Hi Tea,

Not yet, renohifi only have demo firstwatt which come to $2500 out of my range. Maybe I will try a locally built F5 first, but their push pull nature seem wont match with Omega SAMs.

In case of PP transistor amps worth look at Odyssey Khartago or Stratos starting at $1000usd great value.
