**5/26 -- That was fast, amp is currently on hold**

It's this exact one... (the first 4 pics)....

Some personal notes, the TKD pot alone is $100 and in 25k I don't think you can even obtain anymore, the AD4627's currently installed cost me another $75. There is no bass boost installed and the 2x set of RCA's are configured for 1 input and 1 loop out. Build quality and attention to detail is very high on this one. I wish I never had to sell anything but have had my eye on yet another turntable.

Sigma 11 PSU
Pot is TKD 2cp2511 @ 25k ohms
3x AD4627-1B
Panasonic FC Electrolytics
Switchcraft HP and RCA jacks
Oversized heatsinks
Teflon coated wiring

Extra opamps (Need to double check on these):
3x AD8610a
3x AD744jn
3x OPA604ap
3x AD8597

Asking $350 shipped CONUS, no other fees need apply. In the off chance you have a Gungnir Multibit or similar I may be willing to go for a partial trade. Note I am also looking to sell or trade a stock late production pair of HD800 but I think the market's a bit crowded right now.



"nearly 2x the stock quiescent current bias at 150mA with oversized TX and heat sinks. I think these MOSFETs sound better at a higher bias. gain is 3x. The TKD pot is mucho better in the M3 over something like the ubiquitous Alps RK27. While the opamps are 'only' in the VAS, they do have an influence on the sonics. my favs are the ADA4627-1BRZ, AD8597, and OPA1611. these are newer generation opamps, that to my ears, sound superior to earlier species listed under the M3 parts list. i am willing to procure/solder any of these for parts cost/shipping only to the new owner, as well as provide any continued customer support. please contact me before rolling any opamp outside of those listed above and those on the M3 webpage.The amp is around 5 yrs old and shouldn't need any servicing/recapping for another decade or so. Parts cost alone for this amp would be at least $600 in today's $$$, not including the extra opamps or labor. " - Quote from SolderWorksAudio Corey

 

Hi, Is the amp still on hold?. Thx

 

Sneis sold this to me -- which I still have and will be holding on to for the foreseeable future because with the 4627-1B's installed it's one of the best solid state amps I've ever heard. This can be Closed and archived.
