TOM EVANS THE GROOVE #325: OUR FIRST CHOICE IN SOLID STATE PHONO STAGES

Retail Price: $4,400.00
Asking Price: $1,700.00

The Groove is a virtuoso, revealing layers of detail and depth and meaning to all music, whether audiophile vinyl or standard commercial pressings. It is not so much that the Groove does this or that particular thing better, but YOU become more involved, more a part of the performance, with the Groove. Artificial Reality takes a large step forward.

If life is in the details, then the Groove certainly brings more life to the party than any other solid-state phono preamp I can remember. The Groove simply does a better job of doing the disappearing act and letting the music through than any other solid state phono stage save the better Tom Evan's models!

This unit is set up for average output of .2mv from cartridge at 750 ohms.

ESOTERIC CLASS A TUBE INTEGRATED AMP A-100 Awarded Product of The Year 2009 by The Absolute Sound.

Retail Price: $19,000.00
Asking Price: $11,000.00

Sweet as apple pie and detailed as a razors edge, the A100 redefines what tubes properly manged can do .Is it solid state or valves ? Neither! it is music! full warranty.

A 3 stage tube amplifier that can be used as a direct stereo power amplifier or as an integrated (line level), power amplifier. This new hybrid technology incorporates proprietary circuitry and "cutting edge" tube technology.

The A-100 provides a minimum of 90 watts (Minimim 45 wrms), power output from 4, KT-88's in UL-push/pull operation driven with a direct coupled cathode follower. The cathode follower and voltage amplification stage is directly coupled to form a triple stage combining a variable self-biasing system and a zero voltage control system. The bias system used is an advanced active biasing circuit. This system compensates for fluctuations in bias voltage as supplied to the output stage by detecting cathode current and output level demand. This bias control implementation improves linearity and performance of the output stage by maintaining optimum voltage control. The innovative zero voltage control system stabilizes the cathode follower DC output level to improve operation of directly-coupled circuit components. This occurs in an end to end process from the driver stage to the output stage. Both of these circuits combine to improve the stability and the clarity of the amplifier's output.

The A-100 features a newly designed custom output transformer designed to achieve highly delicate and precise musicality. The amplifier uses specially treated copper foil as the 2nd order coil. This design maintains very tight coupling properties between the 1st order coil. All stages except the KT-88 are powered by fully stabilized power supplies. With this innovative power supply design, the A-100 reproduces an exceptionally deep and finely detailed soundstage.

ONLY THE BEST SOUNDING SOLID STATE AMPLIFIER UNDER $50,000.00!THE LEGEND PRECEDES IT!- i AM GOING FOR THEIR MONO BLOCS!OUCH ! THAT'S EXPENSIVE. BUT NOT THIS UNIT! THIS UNIT IS A STEAL! 2005-2006 MANUFACTURE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES FROM CURRENTLY MANUFACTURED UNIT. I'M TELLING YOU THIS AMP SHOULD SELL FOR FAR MORE AS A MINT USED PIECE BUT THERE IS COMPETITION FROM ANOTHER SELLER WITH A 220 VOLT UNIT SO MY PRICE IS LOW,LOW,LOW!

Which is why we are selling our demo.Of course you or we for that matter could upgrade it to mark II, But i'd rather make someone out there real happy and not suffer the down time between sending my demo out for upgrade when i have a brand new one waiting to go out on line!Sound is spectacular. Range of inputs and adjustments many.A bargain new at $3000.00 a steal as demo for $1900.00.

All sales in New York add $169.00 sales tax.
