Parasound HCA 1200 II (205 watts x 2ch)

The amplifier is rated at 315 watts per channel into a 4 ohm load.
Frequency response 8-150KHz, and the amp weighs over 40 pounds. It is
designed to be rack mountable, and offers a mono/stereo switch on the
back of the amplifier. Also offered are separate volume level controls
for both right and left channels, operation LED, overload LEDs, High
Temp LEDs, numerous protection circuits, standby LED, and fused
protection.

The amp is in fantastic working condition. The amp, however, has had one
of the air vents in the back cut out to improve ventilation. You can
see this in the photo. This was done by the previous owner. Since I have
had the amp for 4 years, though, the cut hasn’t adversely affected the
performance of the amplifier. I originally purchased this from an
Audiogon seller and have used it in conjunction with a Parasound P/HP
850 Stereo Preamplifier.

The buyer will pay shipping and a 3% PalPal fee. I will also accept a Money Order.

Rated conservatively due to the cut-out on the back, otherwise would rate 8.5
