I built this N-Core amp in 2012. It has Cardas copper speaker connectors, Neutrik XLRs, and braided silver/upocc copper output wires. 2 SMPS power supplies dual mono after the power socket, in a stereo chassis.
I put nearly $2k into it, and it has been a great amp. Rock solid, great sound.
The only issue is that I clumsily shorted out an amp module and had to buy an new one about 3 years ago. I had replaced the wima output caps with Ric Schultz's modded ones in both modules, but did not re-install them in the new module. Hence the 2 channels are technically not identical, although I can't hear any difference. I'll include the modded caps to a new owner.
The cosmetic condition is pretty good. My soldering work is ugly but solid.
Anyway, I'm changing things around in my office system and decided it is time to swap this for an integrated.
This is a fine amp.
My price is very cheap; the PSs and modules alone are more than 2x this price.
It has to go away, though, so I'll entertain offers.
Thanks for having a look.
