I’ve got an extremely nice, single owner Melody MK88 in mint condition for sale.  This is a beautiful Class A integrated is a current production Melody (NOT from their old line) and comes with a metal remote control and auto-biasing circuit.

I’ve loved this integrated dearly and selected it as the one after preferring it to some heavy hitters which include: Decware Torii MK3, Music Reference RM-9, VAC PA100/100, Alchemist Forsetti SE and Pass Aleph Monos (clone).  Here is an honest review I did long before I had any intention of selling:  http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=104731.0

To say its performance belies its price is almost an understatement.

This is your chance to steal this gorgeous integrated retailing at $2,000 (and it is my understanding that no discount will be offered) WITH $400 in upgraded tubes (GE Five Star 6ak5s and NOS JAN 6SJ7s) for temporarily withdrawn  For an additional $150 I will include a quad of Shuguang Black Treasure KT88s which make this already great amp PHENOMENAL.


Those close to Long Island are welcome to audition it prior to purchase.  I’m confident it will impress you.

Why am I selling?  I’ve discovered my speakers respond very well to more power and an as a result... I’ve climbed the Melody chain and purchased a larger, more expensive KT-88 Melody integrated with double the power.

I've heard this amp at Fred's. I was scratching my head wondering how it can sound so good for the coin. :o It's not only big and bold sounding but it has the emotional beauty that only a good tube amp can possess.

For asking I doubt one could do better.

I'm attaching some pictures I took this morning with my cell phone which verify the units excellent condition, but fail to capture its beauty.  The deep black gloss really has to be seen in person to be appreciated.

Please excuse the dust and finger prints, it is scratch free.

I want to try this beautiful amplifier with a new pair of speakers I have coming before deciding its fate.   Way too good an amp not to.
