Sorry, the amp has been SOLD.This is a rare no-compromise full Class A amplifier. It was designed by Nelson Pass, famous for his Threshold Audio, and later Pass Labs designs. It has a very warm sound and a low end punch that makes it sound much bigger than it's rated power. I checked the bias and found it set to the factory spec. Then I tested it at the maximum power rating, as shown in the scope image. The upper trace is at 50 watts and the lower at 5 watts output, 10 Hz-30 kHz. The build quality is very high, and you can see the massive toroidal power transformer in the inside pic. All the output transistors are correct and the circuit boards and wiring are original and untouched. The cosmetic condition is excellent overall, except for one scratch on the front panel. Pass Labs currently offers a similar design in fancier packaging, the XA60.5 Here's what the Sterophile review said about it...
"Summing Up: I don't have much to say about the Pass Labs XA60.5 other than this: It is the best-sounding amplifier I have ever used. And when you consider that, at $11,000/pair, the XA60.5 is relatively affordable, it's Class A all the way! " Price reduced to $375, incredible value for this rare and superb sounding audio amplifier.
Local pickup or estimated $60 for packing and shipping by FedEx Ground.
All proceeds benefit the California Grey Bears charity.
