This listing is for a Bada Purer 3.8 MK in rare black color. I have been told that BADA is the OEM for Musical Fidelity. This is the latest version manufactured in April 2014. This amp uses 2 12ax7's and a single 12au7, coupled to 6 pairs of Sanken MJD20/MLE20 mosfets. Power output is 20x2 in class A, and 140x2 in class AB. The amp doubles its power into 4 ohms at 280x2. The pre-amp stage can be bypassed to use as a pure power amplifier.
This amp sounds quite wonderful, and IMHO with the right tubes easily surpasses both the Jungson DA-88TI and Jungson JA-99D I previously had. The sound is smooth, resolving, and organic with good projection, density, and palpability. There is more than enough power on tap to drive almost any speaker. I have owned many amps over the years from Pass, Cary, Modwright, and Plinius and the Bada is an excellent value approaching the performance of those amps at a fraction of the cost.
Includes solid aluminum remote control and original box and tubes.
I am selling because I have gone an entirely different direction with my current setup and do not need such a large amplifier any longer. (I'm also parting the Evolution Acoustics MMMicro Ones that I used with this amp as well, which IMHO is a hard to beat pairing for less than $3k)
Asking $1200 OBO. Local pickup in Orange County, CA is welcome.
