I am selling my AudioSector Patek integrated amp.  This is the same as the Patek amp in an integrated (3-input) amp chassis.  It already contained the Black N caps and all other internals as the Patek reviewed by 6moons. As the pictures show, it comes wenge-colored (dark wood) sides.

Condition of this unit is a 9 easy.  I've had it for about 3 years but there is not a mark on it anywhere.  This has served me well, but I need to trim down my array of stereo equipment.  Call it the '2008 austerity program'.   

*SOLD* OBO including shipping. I accept money orders and PayPal. ..please add 3% if using PayPal.
I will accept a personal check as well, with the proviso that I will have to wait until it clears.
The unit came with no power cord, but I will include one of my own with this unit.
PM me with any questions or respond to this ad. Specs below.

Thanks for your consideration.

c'mon, somebody snap this thing up before I do something stupid.

Thanks for the notice, Mr. Smith.  I have been too busy to do so yet, but I guess I'll be migrating this over to Audiogon this weekend.  I'm sure it'll sell over there.

Best, -dB

The AMP-1 was The Piece I Should Not Have Sold.  It was a stellar, musical, dynamic amp.  It was a previous generation to this and I'm pretty sure I sold it for more than this listing.  I will own one of these when the purse strings are loosened a bit.

Oh, those binding posts are THE BEST.

Bump.....just because it's a gray Tuesday.

Jostle....

Check the 6moons review for the stand alone amp...this adds a pre with great parts for (almost) free.  The amps alone sell for $750 on the used market.  If I didn't already own one, I'd buy it. 

Oh, those binding posts are THE BEST.

Very true.  All other amps seem like a pain in the arse after you try these connectors.

Agreed.

I used the same Cardas patended binding posts on my own version of Peter's gainclone:



You guys are right, they are the easiest posts that I have worked with and are definitely not inexpensive. At the price dBurna is selling it for, the Audiosector is a fantastic deal  In addition, they are not inexpensive to ship with those Plitron transformers and he is including shipping at $800! Double bump!!

Anand.

A 'nudda bump....

This is a hellaciously good amp.

I still have my superpatek clone built by rawson, that isnt going anywhere. 

I had one of these with a defeatable switch for the pot... freakin sounded great.  no point selling this.  if you need more power, use this up top and switch to a biamp setup ala marchand xover.

this amp is too good to sell at a price thats right....

[dburna]
