Very nice condition and sounds outstanding. Extremely open and detailed when paired with both the 545 and 555. Excellent phono stage as well.

• 1% metal film resistors and 2% film dielectric capacitors used throughout
• Input devices are FET’s w/Bi Polar transistors for the output
• Gold plated inputs and outputs
• Shielded power transformer far removed from the audio circuitry
• Individual discrete audio blocks, for power supply, line amplifier, and phono section divided into Left and Right banks
• Three heavy gauge solid copper power rails run through the middle (positive, ground, negative) (see photo) NOT a PCB trace to supply power to each audio block.
• 31 step ALPS volume attenuator
• ALPS selectors and balance control
• 4 inputs and 2 tape loops and 2 sets of outputs (for biamping)
• Selectable 50, 100, 200 ohm MC phono pickups
• Selectable 47k ohms in parallel w/ 100, 200, 300pF of capacitance for MM cartridges
• Weight 8 lbs 6 oz

Adcom 545II - S200 + Shipping Cost
Also in nice condition. Some wear marks on the top from stacking. Bought it from a fellow polk member and has been used to do some light 2-channel listening and powered my JBL's

Yamaha RX-V757 Receiver - $150 + Shipping Cost
It is in good condition. There are a couple scrathes on the face, but obviously doens't affect the sound. Every channel works great.
The button for the AM/FM on the face is the only thing that doesn't work. The remote can easily change.
