No Longer For Sale - Onix SP3 Tube Amp
« on: 4 Dec 2009, 03:06 pm »
I have a same as new Onix SP3 Integrated Tube Amp for sale in original packaging.

I purchased the Amp in anticipation of moving into a house from apartment. We ended up buying a house we like very much but has no space for my audio room. At least once I had to listen to it, so I opened the box. The Amp spent about 3 hours outside of the box. I checked the Bias, it was perfectly set at factory. I fell in love with what I heard, but Amp had to go back to box. Money is tight so no additions to house are expected in near future. My family room needs to have an amp with remote and no hot or fragile components because of my children.

That is the story of my Amp.

I'm offering it for sale for $550
I'd prefer local pick-up in zip 07082.

Shipping can be arranged for at buyer's expense. I will take money order / cash.

Please pm all your offers.
Thanks.

I understand I'm new at the forum and unfortunately all I can do for you to feel more comfortable with me is sharing my Ebay username: ubulbay. I've got 100% good reviews there, although those are all purchases and only 7 of them.
I guess I'm just not the most active online trading person around here...

Currently I'm figuring out approximate shipping costs which I will try to add to / include in my price.

Thanks for reading.

Update:

I opened the box again to take some pictures of the Amp to demonstrate it's exceptional shape.
Then I made a huge mistake: turned it on and listened to it.
After that no pictures were taken and my Onix is no longer for sale...

This thing is worth much-much more, than $550...

Thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear that money is tight although I'm glad you're going to keep it.  Hope things get better for you soon.

You know, stoves are hot too but people still have stoves.  Turn on the amp only when you're using it and be a bit more vigilant when it's on.  Maybe it'll be ok ...

I'm sitting here laughing because this is exactly what happened to me (different item).   :D   I took pictures of my speakers (Bamberglab Series 5's, fully active) with the intent to sell them to raise money for a custom bicycle purchase and could not get myself to put them up for sale, they sound too good.  I know exactly how you feel.

Good luck with the new place and with your system.
