Hey all,
Selling a beautiful Decware SE34I.5 integrated amp (“Rachel” according to the branding). This was built in February 2016, so has all the latest build-ins plus upgrades (see below). Inputs are a pair of 6N1P, outputs are EL34. Stock tubes and power cord will be included. Entire caboodle will be well protected and double boxed for shipment, though, as always, local pickup in the Washington D.C. area preferred.
This amp sounds phenomenal and has nary a scratch on it. The imaging is superb - when listening to acoustic jazz, you can almost see a bassist’s fingers traveling the neck. I’m the second owner. I’m only selling because I have a Decware Mini Torii that sounds as good, is smaller and is easier to tweek sound-wise (i.e., more tubes to roll and a tone adjustment switch I can flip in case I’m listening to some muddy-sounding records). Keep in mind that this puts out “only” six watts, meaning you need speakers of at least 89/90 db efficiency. I used it to drive Zu Omens and the results were faboo.
This amp has the following upgrades ($ is for how much originally charged by the OEM):
Inputs: Two pair - $150
Outputs: Variable RCA Outputs - $100
Signal Capacitors: Jupiter Beeswax II - $200
Volume Control: Stepped Attenuator - $150
Custom wood base made of Black Acacia tonewood - $200.( The custom base actually gives this particular Rachel a slightly smaller footprint then normal: 12 1/4" deep x 15 3/4" wide.)
Looking for $1,695 plus shipping. Feel free to ask any questions.
