I bought this amplifier for a secondary system that now looks like will never materialize. hence the sale. So for your consideration, I am listing my mint condition, legendary CANARY CA100 amplifier.This model rarely comes up for sale on the used market. It retailed for $4,900.This amplifier is absolutely stunning both in performance and appearance, offering CANARY’S characteristic balancing act of wonderful resolution while maintaining harmonic fullness. It’s designed around the EL34 output tube, and is rated at 80 wpc. All the factory supplied tubes have recently been replaced,The EL34 tubes have been replaced with eight Genalex Gold Lyon KT77 reissue tubes, and all the reissue input tubes have been replaced with NOS RCA, Telefunken, Amperex, and Sylvania tubes,
adding to an already wonderful presentation. Buy with confidence by checking my audiogon feedback under my username ‘don3636’. Buyer is responsible for all PayPal fee’s and shipping charges.
This is a wonderful Amplifier, you will not be disappointed.

The CANARY CA100 is sonically similar to the CA160, but in a smaller package. Read the 6-Moon review of the CA160 and the reference to the CA100 at the end of the review. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/canary3/ca160.html
Below is from the CANARY web site:
The CA-100 is a stereo power amplifier in ultra-linear configuration with EL34 / 6CA7 output tubes.. To get the most out of the design, Hovland MusiCaps® are used in key circuit locations. The oversize custom wound output and power transformers are specially designed to extend the bass and highs. An independent, choke filtered high voltage supplies is used for both channel. Just as important, the military grade epoxy circuit boards are designed to minimize component interaction. With an output power rated at 80 watts, the CA-100 is capable to reproduce music loudly and cleanly. With the CA-100, we have created an ultra-linear stereo amp which offers you similar musical performance of the almighty CA-160, but at a much more affordable price.
