First come first serve. Pics available upon request.

does 45-50wpc into 8, 65 into 4.

black case, on / off switch, removable power cord, no garish LED, no hum, basic (but still good) binding posts, 1 set of RCA inputs, nice and simple.

I am the original owner and it has not moved from the rack that i unpacked it onto. If there are any scratches, and there arent, i didnt do them.

"using 33volt rails, while they say 28volt rails for 4 ohms to 68watts, but as long as >= 85 db fine, that is not running 75% volume where approaching the limit." <--- dont know what this means but it was in the email he sent to me. sounds important http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/Smileys/audiocircle/icon_lol.gif

FYI: I use this with a squeezebox digital volume control. Gain is very high on this one! 1-3 clicks (im serious!) for background listening in my small room, and at about 1/4 of the digital volume things are rocking!

great bass, nice highs. lots of fun to listen to! Been using it on my giant vintage altec speakers as well as my vintage klipsch hereseys which are smaller -- works great on both!

Cant beat the price/performance ratio. Tim Rawson amps are extremely re-sellable. Only reason I am selling is because he is building me another kind of clone that i cant wait to try.

I owned a bel canto evo 2 gen 2 tripath based amp that lists for $ 3200 usd, and it is really not any wide stretch better than a well-built Tim Rawson gainclone.

I am asking usd 195 plus shipping and paypal from 02141 boston, which is par for the course for a no-frills, all-thrills rawsonte gainclone.

thanks!

just drop me a pm http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/Smileys/audiocircle/icon_smile.gif
