Consolidating my man-room setup.

Cosmetically solid, but shows signs of use. This amp used to have a rack-mountable face plate. Well, it wouldn't fit into the space that I needed it to, so I decided to cut the 'ears' off. I filed the edges down and painted with a magic marker. They are not perfectly straight, but close. You can see by the pictures. A couple of years ago I got a quote from Parasound for a new face plate which they still had in stock.

No issues with functionality, and it sounds fantastic paired with my SDA 2a's.

    This is one of my favorite amps. I have one in storage only because I went integrated and I can't bring myself to part with it.

    Chances of coming across a deal like this again are slim to none.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.
