For sale I have a very clean Rotel RA-971 integrated amp. It is an easy 8/10 cosmetically and functionally 100%. I do not have the manual or box, but the manual is readily available to download here:

- Black Gate caps throughout
This amp does not come equipped with remote or phono. It is like the Rotel version of a Creek 4330 and is very competitive with the Creek in terms of sound quality. The sound is clean and smooth with just a touch of warmth. It actually sounds more warm and smooth to me than the well reviewed RA-1062 which I've owned on 2 occasions. Simpler signal path? Black Gates? Not sure, but it is very easy to listen to and enjoy.
I am reluctantly selling this amp as I am moving and need to let some things go. I really have more gear than I have time to listen to. I can't imagine a better sounding amp at my asking price. If you're looking for a simple amp and don't need remote, you can't go wrong.
Asking $230 shipped UPS ground within the lower 48 US States

Please feel free to contact me with questions or offers. Thank you!
Actual pics of the amp are attached. Note that the camera flash is picking up dust speckles big time. There's a small nick on the left side plastic end cap, which again, the camera flash exaggerates. There are some light scuffs / rub marks on the right side end cap, that don't show too well in the pics, but they are there. Very solid 8/10 condition.
