Up for sale is my Decware Zen Torii MK III Integrated Tube Amplifier. Given the versatility I had planned on keeping it for a long while, but circumstances change. The web has numerous reviews and discussions on the Zen Torii with quite a following in the audiophile community. It is very versatile in terms of tweaking the sound with the bass and treble pots as well as use of different tubes. I used this as both an amp (with an external pre) as well as an integrated. This unit is in great condition with only a small scuff on the back left corner (tough to see in pictures).
The amp was built with a number of upgrades including a cherry Base ($100), VCAPS ($500) and a stepped attenuator ($150). I will also include a number of tubes to start those who like to roll, including:
EL34/6CA7: Svetlana Winged Cs (quad), JJs (quad-new in box), and a set of lightly used JJs (one of them was giving me problems, so I purchased a whole new quad rather than troubleshoot)
OC2: RCA (pair) / OB2 Raytheon (pair)
OA3: RCA (pair) / 0B3: Sylvania (pair)
6N1P/6DJ8/ECC88/6992: GE (pair), Philips (pair)
5U4G: GE (pair), Sovtek (pair)
