Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5 PRICE: SOLD

Description:

This amp is the epitome of a gentle giant. It weights ~140lbs and outputs 300wpc into a 8ohm load, doubling down (rare) to 600wpc into a 4ohm load. This amp is one of the newer ones with the 4Kva transformer (as opposed to the older 3.7Kva) and balanced inputs. Even though it has an amazing amount of power it is extremely quite at low volumes, and runs quite cool.

More information can be found here in the original thread, the old one was a mess hence the redux.

Condition:
I have had this amp for around 4 years. I added dynamat extreme to the capacitors of the L+R amp blocks, as well as the transformer. It has performed flawlessly except I did have of the monoblocks blow a fuse (my fault) about 6 months ago. It was sent in for repair and everything has been fine since.

There are some light scratches on the top of the unit that aren't that noticeable and there are sum thin rub marks near the rear of the top that are.

Terms:
This unit will be shipped in the original crate insured with all of the original packaging. This comes with the unit, stock power cord, and manual (3 hole punched). Accepting Paypal (add 2%), money order, or personal check. I will only sell to a buyer with verifiable good feedback. I have feedback here and on Audiogon. For sale in the US only.

    Is this a common Ground? Have you hooked them up to the SRS-SDA with the interconnect cable?

    I believe so, but I have never hooked them up to SDAs of any kind, the only polks I have ever owned are LSis.

    If you already have a Cinenova you should be able to check using a multimeter, although I am unsure how. A quick search should bring up how to.

    Yep. I got a lot of interest at $1600 so I figured $1500 would seal the deal, guess not.

    The last thread got bogged down with Q/A and people saying they would take it, it all got very confusing. Not sure why all my F/S threads turn into conversations, oh well.

    Not sure what that means...but I guess it isn't a good thing for SDAs?

    Now $1475.
