This is your chance to have one of the most special 300B amps on the
market virtually new for $50% off retail. You won't find anything that
competes sonically or cosmetically anywhere near that price.

This amp was only used for CES two years ago. Its been sitting in its
box ever since. The person I got it from was also the former Audio Note
rep and he claims it took an Audio Note $18,000 amp to better it. I
know this person well and he's very straight forward about gear. This
is known for being one of the quietest SET's on the market.

To quote Enjoy The Music:

"Summation

The Sophia Electric 300B Mk. II amplifier does a great many things
superbly. She reveals tonal nuance, excels at micro-dynamic shadings,
offers rich and real midrange tones, reaches fairly deep into the bass
and does so with surprising power. As importantly, she does nothing
poorly, especially in light of her power rating. Above all this, the
Sophia Electric 300B Amplifier Mk II makes music and she does so with
beauty. The first of those things is the ostensible goal of this
pursuit, but in that attempt, not a few folks have abandoned the
second. Not this lovely amplifier. She unleashed a tonal purity, tonal
detail and dynamic flow that mimicked reality so well that more than
mere notes were released into my room. Within her limits, a superb
product indeed."

"We've never heard the (Avantgarde) Trio horn speakers better as with
Your (300B) amp!!! We've tried many amps (including) a well known
16'000,-$ mono-block amps. None of them had the transparent, airy and
the same time musical presentation as your Sophia Electric™ 300B
Single Ended amp. This is by far the lowest noise 300B single ended amp
we've ever heard on our 110 db Trio mit bass-horn!

Hi Richard,

I've had some time now with the Sophia Electric™ 300b stereo
amplifier and I can say that it just gets better with time! This amp is
such an improvement over anything I've had in my system it's taken some
getting used to the difference(s). Bass is outstanding as is this amp's
ability to handle large-scale, complex music. On the other hand,
individual instruments and vocals simply sound natural. And this amp is
dead quite.

All in all it sounds like music. Thank You.

Michael

btw - the amp is also beautifully built - everyone who's seen it stops
to take a closer look."

This is a very heavy amp. I prefer local pick up if possible but will
ship. Buyer must elect for insurance.

Please feel free to ask any question I haven't answered. As you can see
from my feedback I have very pleased customers. No trade offers,
please.

Paypal add 3%. MO will need to clear before shipping. You can contact
