A rare chance to acquire a legend of an amp. Finest head amp I've ever used, plus 11 watts of pure "Class A holographic heaven" that will drive any speaker within reason. This is from roughly 1995 given its unique chrome casing and transformers.

I own two identical units (see photo) and am selling the more pristine of the two. To benefit the new owner and do justice to the amp, I am including three NOS 6SN7s (and three spares) - as well as a backup pair of 300b tubes. I'd estimate perhaps 500 hours on the installed globes. The unit is quiet as a mouse with a black background that makes music sound its best.

For the price as well, I will include an excellent Signal Cable power cord.

The unit weighs 50 lbs. The cost for professional boxing/packing/shipping with my trusted UPS friend will be actual and calculated at the time of shipping by UPS.

Please do your research and buy with confidence from a longterm 'Gon audiophile (member: jdmeyers77). Price is absurdly fair and firm, so no offers please. I will drive 25 miles with the amp to meet someone local to avoid shipping as well.

FYI, I have used Utopias for 4-5 years and they are, for me, my end game headphone. However, I used to own Senns (600/650) and Beyers (T1) and believe me when I say how this amp drives any can I've personally tried is impressive. My music tastes run from bluegrass to Bach to the Dead.

Thanks for looking and my apologies for the lengthy post! The new owner who snags this piece will own a piece of audio history in a Dennis Had design that remains unchanged and in production for nearly 30 years.

PLEASE NOTE: I will add more detailed photos on 2/13 when I arrive back home. The one for sale is on the right (white bases). Cosmetically it's a conservative "7."

The backup tubes mentioned are not NOS. I believe the 300b set are Electro Harmonix and the three 6SN7s maybe the same. I busted wanted to be clear on that! :)
