I have begrudgingly decided to part ways with my Ampsandsound Mogwai SE. This is a "fully loaded" version with the Auricap and input transformer upgrades. It's actually slightly more upgraded than the regular fully-loaded version. More on that below.

This particular Mogwai SE has an interesting backstory. It was originally ZMF Zach's amplifier that he brought to audio events. I purchased the amp from him advertised as the fully-loaded version. I soon realized that this wasn't actually the fully-loaded version. As per ZMF's usual amazing customer service, Zach paid to have it shipped to Justin over at ampsandsound to install the upgrades. Well, Justin was out-of-stock of the input transformers he usually installs in the Mogwai SE, so he installed input transformers that he had on hand. As I understand, these are better than the usual transformers he uses. Long story short, this is the fully-loaded version of the amplifier, but better.

Cosmetically, the amp is in fantastic condition. The black base was bought new by me. Functionally, it's also in amazing condition. It functions and sounds incredible with both of my headphones (Arya and Verite closed).

The amp will come with a power cord, a couple tube sets (Sylvania 6SL7, Tung-Sol 6L6GC, JJ KT88, Sovtek 5AR4, and a NOS 12AX7 with adapter). For an additional charge, some more-exotic NOS tubes are also available.

Asking $2300, shipping and paypal fees included in price. CONUS only.

Dang it, I was waiting for one of these to come up - and at such a good price! But I got impatient and bought a Quicksilver HPA (which is fabulous). Someone's gonna get a great deal on a great amp here.

Nice stuff and terrible impulse control.
They should lock down classifieds so we can only purchase one thing each month.

…I feel personally attacked. And totally think this is a good idea.

I told @carlman14 that even if you buy it, you're just going to sell it in a few months and buy something even more expensive.

First of all how dare u, second of all I'll probably sell my expensive stuff too at some point. In all seriousness, this is kind of a problem. My kids' gotta go to college someday, and I don't think Harvard accepts tuition payments in NOS tubes

At some point I have to escape the "buy more stuff" rabbit hole and get more into the "build your own stuff" one. At least I managed to cap off my turntable/2-channel stuff a couple years back. Then headphones happened.
