Audio Synthesis Desire Decade Power Amp

I have too many amps in the house.... some of them need to go!

Very clean sounding 175W Power amp with balanced & single ended inputs. Recently serviced by Audio Synthesis.

I'm told it works very well with passive preamps, due to very high input impedence (for a solid state amp). I found it also worked very well with a Krell active preamp. Very rhythmic & involving, not fat or sloppy sounding. It will of course be the perfect partner for an Audio Synthesis DAC with volume control.

I think these cost about £2.5k new but you can have this perfect, boxed example for £1000 ono. incl UK postage.

I will take some pictures and post links later, or PM me for them. Thanks for looking.

 

hi, can you tell me how old this amp is?

 

Not entirely sure of its original date of manufacture but it was upgraded to current specification just a few months ago when it was serviced by AS. It is still their current model so cannot be very old!

I'll send the S/N to AS to see if they can tell me when it was manufactured.

 

Here are some pictures. There are a few scuffs on the top plate, but nothing significant.
