Selling my Pass Labs Alpeh 30. Late production run in First Watt chassis. Earlier runs had a different chassis. I am the 2nd owner who owned it approximately 17 years. Excellent sounding single ended Class A amplifier. This is a true CLASSIC - very hard to find.

Comes with original box and packing and manual. Will only have professionally double boxed and shipped. Shipping/insurance is $100 and I'll cover the rest over $100.

30wpc @ 8 ohms; 40wpc @ 4ohms. Much more powerful than the wattage suggests. The pdf attached has all the particulars. Runs balanced or unbalanced.

Factory upgraded Cardas speaker posts.

Rated an 8 for age. I don't see a blemish or a ding/scratch anywhere. Photos show some dust particles and artifacts. The mostly sat in my system and I covered it when not in use.

$1300 plus $100 shipping/insurance. PayPal FF or add 3.5% - check if I know you, etc.

I only an selling because I went up the Pass Labs line and bought the XA25.
