The History Kid Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Up for sale is my last piece of Emotiva gear. I started phasing out my Emotiva stuff a few years ago in favor of Rotel/Parasound combinations. This one is the last piece to go - it has been replaced with a 5125. It's in great condition - I'm the second owner (that I know of). Missing the ears, but that's easy enough to recover (it has the screws though). No glaring scratches, dents, or dings. It's in real pretty shape. Includes original box - I'd have to dig it out of storage. Thing is a beast - for those who don't know - so prepare for about $90+ on shipping unless you're in driving range. Location: Eastern Iowa Asking: $550 + PayPal (3%) + ship, for forum members (will waive PayPal & Ship for local pickup) Condition: Gently Used (under 20 hours of runtime in current configuration) Cosmetic: 8/10 Function: 10/10 Includes: Box, unit, power cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I've replaced almost all of my emotiva amps with rotels as well. Does this amp have the typical emotiva capacitor issue noise when it shuts off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 I actually have not noticed that issue with the UPA-5. At least what pop is there is very quiet, and that's with it powering an RC-7 and four RS-3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 My neighbor is looking for a decent less expensive 5 channel amp after seeing/hearing my XPA 5's. However, I already sold them before he made up his mind to buy one. I sent him a text and I'll let you know if he's interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Sounds good! Let me know. The UPA line is still pretty solid with the toroidal transformers - it's why I never wanted to go with their Gen III stuff. The Parasounds that have been replacing these have also had the toroidal units in them. Easy selling point for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never owned an outboard amp, then this is a great place to start. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
