PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS FOR SALE.Up for your inspection is a British made CR Developments Kalypso integrated amp I took in a trade ---{along with a nice bit-o-cash}--- from another Audio Asylum member, who wanted my CR Developments Woodham 300 Classic Preamp. The ONLY reason I took this amp in trade along with the $$$$$ I received for my preamp was because I was so impressed by how well it this little amp sounded in a direct comparsion to my $12.5K Mastersound Reference 845, SET integrated amp! That alone made it worthy of consideration in my eyes. Specifications Configuration: Class AB Output

There's a nice video of another Kalypso amp here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxcPmGv0_I My Kalypso looks just like the amp in the video except that my Kalypso has golden knobs. This Kalypso integrated tube amp weighs 26.5lbs unpackaged. That means it is easily 30lbs with bubblewrap, peanuts surrounding the wrapped amp and the box itself, but of course it could be slightly higher or lower than that actual weight when sent because I guesstimated the final weight. CR Developments is not well know here in the states, but in England and especially in Japan it has a cult following. I offer all my products here first in the US & Canada in an effort to try and keep them in North America. However with that said should you live outside of North America and you're interested in something I'm selling. Contact me at my email address below and perhaps I'll make an exception for you. This amp would make a great foundation for a highend audio system in a smaller room, where a large amp would be overkill. It would also serve well if it was to be used in a highend system with high sensitivity speakers, or perhaps as second system in your den or bedroom or better yet as your gift for your high school or college age child's first entry into a true highend system. Please feel free to send me a counter-offer, but I won't go a lot lower than $1000. Also if you have an questions, comments, want photos from other angles etc. you can contact me via phone at (407) 207-4364 --ask for Tom or send me an email at: thetubeguy1954(at)yahoo(dot)com In addition to my Audio Asylum Trader feedback, this is a link to my feedback on Audiogon: http://tinyurl.com/85hmlc7
