Over the course of this past year I have collected a few amps with the intention of building a system in a small room. I have decided to change directions so I am selling them off. I have already listed on here a Wells Majestic, Peachtree Nova and just recently sold on a here NuForce STA200 and finally now will be listing the last one.

Bada dc222 in good condition. It does have a few minor scratches and one nick on the edge of the face plate which is shown in the photo. Overall it is very presentable.

This amp was purchased from the original owner who builds and mods many versions of Frist Watt amps as well as preamps of various topologies. I have shown the modifications in the photos and will try and answer any questions about the amp as best as I can but here is an excerpt from the original owner:

Driver stage has been upgraded to Aikido topology with 6N1P gain stage and 12AU7 buffer. Far lower distortion, better PSRR than original cascade driver. Coupling caps upgraded to Mundorf film and foil.

A really fantastic sounding amp that I have compared to amps costing considerably more.


Amp will be well packed for shipping and comes with a Logitech Harmony remote for volume control. No power cord.

Proac Studio 3’s @ 86db. While not the hardest speaker to drive they require good current to get the best out of them. The amp sounds great on them however the room is not very big.
