michaelwjones Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Outstanding hybrid integrated amplifier made in Italy with 50 watts per channel. Minimalist brushed aluminum faceplate. The unit has two pair of speaker connectors which run simultaneously allowing you to use the second pair for a subwoofer. This unit includes the optional phono section which is switchable for MM or MC. Most importantly, this unit has the level 2 upgrades from Underwood HiFi. The mods include SOUNDCOAT chassis damping material cut & applied to the inner chassi, two MULTICAP PPFXS polypropylene film and tin foil inter-stage coupling capacitors, two 1uf AURICAP metallized polypropylene preamp input coupling capacitors, twenty Japanese RIKEN ½ and 1 watt "signal path" carbon resistors (gold-plated leads), two feet of DH LABS “Revelation series” pure 99.999% silver solid core input signal wire with teflon tape-wrap dielectric, a pair of premium VAMPIRE “direct gold plated over copper body” RCA female jacks replacing the original CD input, four WBT 0763 single output binding posts, Vishay-Telefunken SF4007 ultra-fast soft recovery diodes (to re-build existing bridge rectifiers), six upgraded electrolytic capacitors are added to the power supply, two custom made Burr-Brown OPA627 op amp based pc boards dramatically upgrade the amp driver stage, TRT WonderSolder is used throughout, and four EAR large sorbothane isolation feet further dampen the chassis. The result is dead silence, great sound stage and dynamics. The bass is even tighter with no flab. It has a great grip on the bottom end of my La Scalas and Heresy, as well as a clear and layered midrange. Look for the 6 Moons Audio review and Sam Tellig’s review at Stereophile. Works perfectly. This amplifier shows a minimal flaws or scratches. Includes power cord, remote, manual & original packing. $1000. Weighs almost 30 pounds, so don’t be surprised at the cost of shipping. Or come audition and take it home with you. I’m south of Nashville. Please email any questions.
