SOLD!This is a kit to build two (2) NC400 monoblock amplifiers. It includes ALL connection materials to complete the build (XLR / Binding posts, etc)
New retail cost for everything (not including XLR to RCA adapter): approx. $450
Asking: $145, shipped with No PayPal fee added ["Friends" payment option preferred, but not required] Right now Hypex sells the chassis alone (with no cables or connectors for $188 ea or $376 for the pair).
OPTIONAL: If you prefer to have amps built for you (as opposed to DIY), they can be completed using James Romeyn's professional build service. The cost for the service is $290 and comes with a 5-year service warranty. Turnaround time is three (3) working days. Once purchased I will ship kit, parts, and materials directly to James at your request.
Right now, with USD / EUR exchange rate, you could pick up amp modules and power supplies from Hypex for a little over $1,100.
At one point, this was the amp that everyone was talking about and it was in very high demand. And although the hype has died down, these remain one of the best values in high-quality solid state amplification.
Check out some of those reviews that caused all the buzz

http://tinyurl.com/ycy56bn5 Be that as it may, since I already have excellent amps featuring Hypex UcD technology (Channel Islands D-200), I haven't been in a big hurry for a replacement. Fast forward to now. I've decided to go in another direction. I'll be trading in my harder to drive 86db / 6 ohm speakers for some highly efficient speakers that can be used with low-powered single-ended triode (SET) amp.
If you’ve been thinking about doing a Hypex NC400 build project, here’s a chance to pick up everything you need. You’ll receive the original Silicon Ray, custom build kit with everything included to house the amplifier module and power supply. Retail cost of Basic kit $220 WITHOUT upgraded parts. (Photo is how finished mono would look – plain silver face with black sides)
In addition, you will receive the following BRAND NEW upgraded parts and tweaks sourced from Parts ConneXion:
• Cardas Female XLR Jack ($61/pair)
• Furutech High End Fuses ($116/pair)
• Furutech Audio grade, pure copper inlet 24K gold-plated ($56/pair)
Even though not needed for the actual amp build, I am throwing in a pair of XLR Male to RCA Female adapters, in case you need to run mono’s single-ended.
Total retail cost for everything listed is $453. Asking $145,which includes USPS Priority Shipping to anywhere in lower 48. PayPal ONLY, with No extra transaction fee. Please NOTE Sales policy: item goes to first person who sends payment to PayPal address 'Strateahed at AOL dot com'
