edited August 6 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I am initially offering this for local pickup only in the Albany, NY, area in order to avoid shipping (although I may open it up to shipping in a few weeks if there is no local interest).

$400 cash only
Local pickup only in the Albany, NY, area

Package deal: take this Parasound amp and the PSB Stratus speakers I am offering for sale on another thread and take both for $575.

Parasound HCA 1500A amplifier
The amp is in Very Good condition overall with just a superficial, approx. 1", scratch to top left corner of the faceplate which you cannot see unless close to the amp. It is in excellent working condition. I had it serviced shortly after buying it 5 years ago to ensure that everything was in specs and working correctly. I have used it sparingly in a secondary system and it should have a lot of life left in it.

I have priced this lower than recent sold figures as noted on the usual secondary audio market sites. This is an excellent-sounding and powerful amplifier.

Someone will be getting a great amp at a very good price.
Offer only open to Polk Forum members with 100+ posts.

I would like to avoid shipping this heavy amp and am listing it only as local pickup at present.

I can send pics if interested (please pm me an e-mail address if photos desired so I can e-mail pics of the amp).

    Thanks. I wanted to do that but unfortunately lost the service documentation in a house move a few years ago. I had the service performed by a vintage stereo repair shop located outside of Syracuse, NY. They did a great job.

    Meant to say I paid more than $400 6 years ago.

    Thanks.

    As noted in the initial post, I presently want to keep this as local pick-up only in order to avoid the hassle of shipping this heavy amp.

    I will probably open it up for shipping in a few weeks if there is no interest in the local pick-up option.

    Great idea and investment for the buyer, which I would be more than interested in.

    I will keep this listed exclusively on here for another week or two. I know local pick-up only limits the market but I hope that a PF member near Albany, NY, area can take advantage of this offer.

    I have now also listed this for sale (at a higher price) on a couple of local sites. I will most likely offer a shipping option on here in a few weeks if there is no interest in local pick-up by that time. Thanks.

    I am putting the Parasound HCA 1500A power amp on hold for two weeks for a fellow Polk forum member who has expressed interest. I am currently away but promised to hold it until I return and give him first rights to it if I decide to ship it at that time. Thank you.
