Wavelength Duetto Outstanding 300B Amplifier -Enjoy the Music 2001 Amp of Year

Outstanding amplifier that I hate to part with but I am applying the funds for its sale to my grandson's college education (a sacrifice worth making.) These are extremely rare to find for sale (it is a keeper amp.) Price is $2150. Please add 3 % if paying via paypal, no overseas shipping or trade offers. Buyer to pay insured shipping charges. Comes with original shipping crate and copy of owner's manual.
This one is in excellent condition. I will let you supply the 300B output tubes (I have used western electric, Sophia Princess, Sophic meshplates and TJ meshplates - all with wonderful results. The amp is musical, natural and dead quiet. Instruments and voices sound the way they should. Very detailed but still has the 300B lushness you want, great resolution. Everytime I listen to it I am drawn into the music and forget about whatever equipment is being played. I have owned it for 8 years and doubt I have used it more than 200 hours as I have multiple systems and curious children around. Old stock 6Sl7s and 5AR4 tubes will be provided which have a lot of life left in them. I do not know what year it was built but know it is totally original, no work has ever been done or has ever been needed on this great amp. I am the second owner and the first owner had small children so this amp has been very lightly used by both me and the first owner.
Offering a Wavelength Duetto 300b amp from the esteemed Gordon Rankin Original list price of $5250. Here's a very informative and glowing review by Art Dudley awarding 4.75 of 5 stars:
http://www.wavelengthaudio.com/duetto.pdf
“The Wavelegth Duetto is beautifully built.
Hand-wired point to point.
The sound of the Duetto is unmistakably that of an amp with less crap between the listener on the one hand and the music on the other… I very strongly encourage you to give this beautiful thing a listen. I’ll tell you what: You don’t have a complete idea of what a low-power, single-ended amp can really do until you hear this. If natural warmth, rhythmic zing, and gobs of nonmechanical detail sound like mutually exclusive things, then you obviously haven’t heard Doc Watson’s “Tom Dooley” through a Wavelength."

Ian White, Enjoy The Music.com - "Just how good is the Duetto? I've seriously only wanted to own three really extravagant things in my entire life; a house on a hill overlooking the Old City in Jerusalem, a Chagall painting, and a legitimately high-end piece of gear so superior to its peers that I would never part with it for any reason. I'm one third of the way there."

Hi apt_one, great looking amplifier! Are you the first owner and what year was it made? Was any work done on the amplifier or is it in its' original state?
Thanks,
Boris
