FS: FirstWatt F8 hi-fi amplifier from Nelson Pass

Although you get the factory box, too, I'm reluctant to ship it, so this post is to tell you about the listing in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The specifications:
Distortion @ 1 watt, 8 ohms 0.015%
Input Impedance 100 Kohm
Gain 15 dB
Input Sensitivity (1 watt) 0.53 V
Input Sensitivity (max output) 2.6 V
Damping Factor 40 @ 8 OHMS
Output power 8 ohms 25 watts @ 1% THD, 1KHz
Output power 4 ohms 15 watts @ 1% THD, 1KHz
Frequency response -0.5 dB @ 10 Hz, 200 KHz

It looks as though the F8 is the culmination of Nelson's FirstWatt gems. It has certainly been a perfect component for me.

Please see the Craigslist ad for more photos and details, and to contact me. The ad has the same Subject line.

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

I took this item off the market for some time. Now that I have a better idea of my next lust 😉, the F8 is back up for sale.
The ad is on https://sfbay.craigslist.org/ . Go to the electronics section and use F8 in the search box.

Posting here requires a price. Baffles the mind why anyone selling an item would expect any potential buyer to jump from page to page in order to find out the selling info . You have time to reply, Seems you could just as easily post your asking price

It needs to be called out those who post things on Craigslist and the like, and the particular forum at the same time.

Post it to Audio Circle, and see if people are interested. Give it time. Give the community you belong to the first chance.
