For Sale is a Parasound HCA-1200ii amplifier. This amp is a BEAST of an amp. Works perfectly and loved having it in my system.

Looking to downsize a bit on my gear with baby number 2 on the way. Wont have tons of time to listen to it, and have a decent integrated already. Will probably regret selling this, but thats how this hobby goes. This amp is totally stock.

Price is 350 local(ish) to start. Won't rule out shipping but it will be pricey as I ship right, which is double boxed with 3 inches of foam around and ship insured for full purchase price with signature required. So again prefer a local sale.

Willing to entertain offers.

Possibly willing to drive a bit to meet up with folks in the Cinncinatti, Dayton, Bloomington-Normal & Chicago areas. I am in the greater Indianapolis, IN area.

Will provide pictures upon request.

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Yup. Consolidating down @daboyz

    I'm ok with it as I'm putting the money into the HT aspect which honestly is something I enjoy more. This funding is going toward building out a full NAS/HTPC to store my growing digital library on so I can stream it in multiple locations (bedroom + HT).

    If shipping is whats holding someone up, give me a shout as I haven't ruled shipping out entirely, I was simply hoping due to my proximity to a couple large cities to avoid it.

    I am more than capable of packaging it to withstand a bomb, just makes it a bit more pricey since its heavy and will be somewhat bulky....
