I am very happy to sell Amp built with care by hand by audio engineer George Wright, at Wright Sound. I am offering the AU-215 Integrated Amp that I dont think is even for sale on Georges site. I choose this one because well it flat out rocks! nice touch with the mini and 1/4 headphone jacks on the front as well. If your looking for a ultra warm and lush sound that drives speakers AND is one of the best headphone amps I have heard in a very long time, this is it.

George Wright passed away August 21 following surgery. I was at the estate sale yesterday. I picked up the last production AU-215I integrated amp remaining in Wright’s inventory. Matched pairs JJ EL84 and JJ ECC83. Quietest tube amp I’ve ever encountered. I might sell it. It’s probably the last chance to get one minty fresh. The AU-215 I is the signature model sold only to dealers normally. It is a WIA1515 with Rhodium plated RCA connectors, a brass faceplate and better coupling caps and resistors. It normally goes for $1870. I needed one like a hole in the head but couldn’t resist a bargain. I also got an incomplete WHA-22 headphone amp which I have some hope of finishing. I had heard it earlier courtesy of George Wright and was most impressed with its sound. OTL triode out to cans and transformer coupled to speakers.
