Audio Note (UK) Conqueror

AUDIO NOTE CONQUEROR 300B SET STEREO AMPLIFIER

EXCELLENT CONDITION!

ASKING PRICE REDUCED TO $2095

I purchased the Audio Note Conqueror new from authorized dealer DejaVu Audio in Vienna, VA. Current price is about $4500, with the included Psvane 300B Western Electric Replica power tubes. The WE Replica tubes made a considerable improvement in overall sound compared to the stock Electroharmonix tubes (stock tubes not included, just the excellent WE Replica 300B tubes). This is a good chance to purchase a like-new Audio Note amp at a great savings!

I have rated the amp’s condition at 8, but it is excellent, beautiful, works perfectly. There is a hard to see rub mark on one side of the front transformer cover, barely visible, but can be seen in one of the photos. In all honesty, I didn't see this until I looked at the uploaded photo, it's that hard to see, but I want to give an accurate description.

From web review (http://www.allegrosound.com/AudioNote_Conqueror_AllegroSound.html):

Driven within its capabilities... this amp is capable of sheer magic. It imbues the proceedings with a palpable air of realism; the resulting soundscapes are beautifully detailed and with well recorded pieces, there is a reach-out-and-touch quality to the way instruments are delineated and projected.

I would definitely agree: this amp, partnered with high efficiency speakers, produces very clear, detailed, articulate, fast sound that is in no way harsh or etched. It's amazing at how it can create such accurate detailed sound, and still sound liquid and smooth. Incredibly full soundstage and deep, well-controlled bass with magic midrange that single ended triode amps, and 300B amps in particular, are known for. The reason I’m selling is that I bought Gamut speakers, which require a more powerful amp.

Please note that as the output is 8 Watts per channel; this amp needs to be partnered with high efficiency speakers to get the most out of it. For example, it drives DeVore speakers (I previously had DeVore 88's) beautifully with plenty of power and dynamics. If you're reading this ad, you're probably aware of the magic and specific uses of 300B SET (single-ended triode) amps, but I want to ensure this is clear to all readers.

You can read more about this beautiful, hand-made amplifier at the manufacturer's website:
