Current retail: $5795
For Sale price: $4000
This unit is about 2 years old. There is one year left on the manufacturer's warranty. It is in perfect working condition, with minor cosmetic blemishes (paintable!). Tubes were replaced earlier this year.

-125 watts into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms per channel output
-True balanced from input to output with both positive and negative binding posts being "hot" with signal.
-DC coupled output stage
-Blue Circle "Blue Puck Cap" used in power supply filtering, both in output stage and B+ supply
-Local "on board" filtering cap located at less than an inch away from the actual output devices for better transient response.
-All control circuits are done in analog domain. Therefore, no digital clock to contaminate the analog signal integrity. It’s an analog amp after all.
-Heavy gauge power supply ground return path for both tube and output stages with the exact same reference for both tube and output stages to yield the best matching performance.
-20Amp Neutrik "Power Con" power connector with 6ft BC62 power cord
-All internal ac power is controlled by 30A ac power relays for shortest ac power run inside the chassis.
-600VA power transformer supply for output stage only
-Three separate power transformers for output stage, tube input stage and controls
-Over 200,000uF in power supply filtering.
-Power HexFred rectifier in both output stage and B+ supply
-12Ga steel chassis for mechanical integrity
-Two pairs of binding posts per channel for shot gun biwire
-RCA and XLR input
-Ground lift switch to eliminate ground loops. This switch will only lift the signal ground, the chassis is connected to earth ground at all times for safety.
