FOR SALE: Vintage classic original Mission Cyrus One integrated amplifier. Half-width "shoebox" size like an early Naim Nait. Great little amp. With built-in phono section for using turntable - switchable for MC (moving coil) and MM (moving magnet) cartridges! Set up for American power supplies, this is the desired metal case/toggle switch version of the One. This from another recent Cyrus One listing: "This amp is so incredibly well-built and heavy. It sounds absolutely incredible too! The easiest way to describe the Cyrus sound is a hybrid of Linn and Naim. It's modest rating of 25 watts per channel is hard to fathom - this thing sounds so much more powerful than that. It's so full of life, detail and just plain fun! As an added bonus, it has a great moving coil or moving magnet phono stage on-board. The old Cyrus amps have their very cool distinctive look and they're very simple and straightforward." See the linked AK forum discussion for more info and insights.
