FS: Virtue Audio Sensation M451 amp w/ tube buffer, cap upgrades, 30v PS

** SOLD **

We are looking to downsize from 2 houses to a small condo; so I need to scale down (in size & quantity) from 2 audio systems to 1 …

I am the original owner of a 2-1/2 yr. old Virtue Audio M451 integrated amplifier with internal Dodd Audio tube buffer (can be switched on or off), full replacement upgraded Sonicap & Platinum bypass capacitors, upgraded aluminum billet remote, & upgraded Virtue Audio-supplied 30v x 90w power supply ($1,079 invested). Includes stock J & J ECC803S tube w/ 500 hrs. run time.  Amp is rated 43 watts @ 8 ohms/ 30v & includes (3) RCA inputs.

Amplifier sides & buttons are cloud finish (textured light blue powdercoat), columns & faceplate brushed anodized aluminum, & top is Zebra wood.  It is in excellent condition, built like a tank & sounds great (aluminum remote has a couple small dings). Light use (approx. 1,000 hrs. total w/ 500 hrs. stock tube & 500 hrs. different tube).
