Hello everyone,

I have Sony's old flagship integrated amplifier TA-A1ES for sale. It's in very good cosmetic and functional condition. I'm selling it as I plan to down-size my equipments and save some room on my gear shelf.

Asking for $450 net from me and its MSRP is $1999. The amplifier will come with the remote. I threw the original box away and I'll only accept NYC local pick-ups. It's very heavy.

The headphone jack of it is impressive. I had great listening experiences paring it with most of my headphones from high to low impedances. It sounds beautiful with my TH900 pearl white edition (also for sale), better than driving it with the Topping A90. Ignoring the speaker amplifier function, it's already a steal for the money as a well-built amplifier with a remote. My loss is your gain.

Thanks for your interest!

This is such an insanely awesome deal!!! I have used some pretty high dollar amps and this is one of my most favorite I've ever owned. It's not perfect, I'm sure it's not the best amp ever measured. But at typical used prices I adore it. At this price, one could not possibly do better for an integrated stereo amp. This thing is such an awesome sleeper!

I would definitely keep it if I had a pair of bookshelf speakers to drive. Looking for someone who can make better use of this beauty.

Holy god… I’d be willing to pay an extra $200 just to have it shipped.

Man, best of luck to you AND I hope someone within 100 miles picks this bad boy up. What a flippin’ deal!

I had a very large Parasound HCA1205A packed & shipped by FedEx recently and it was only about $95 to do so. If OP would consider this option, it could broaden the “market” for this awesome amp. I was worried about FedEx ability to properly deal with the pack/ship, but ultimately it worked out great and I received the amp in perfect condition. Totally worth the cost for anyone potentially interested in buying this! I’d be getting it myself, but I just scored a Kinki EX-M7.

I have a good box for a marantz receiver that would work but the packaging foams probably not 100% compatible
I might consider shipping it if no one local contacts in the following days. I live in NYC and having cars is optional. So I have to take a taxi to FedEx and let them pack, which is a lot of trouble to me haha.

I like the amount of peer pressure that has developed here, but can't blame them! I've been chasing this amp for awhile, but they seem to rarely show up for sale.

Close this thread and let me consider whether to sell it at the moment. I might re-open it and accept shipping next month (will still ask for a great price then).
