First Watt / Pass Labs F3 Power JFET Amplifier - Mint condition and rare opportunity!

You're looking at a very gently used First Watt F3 Power JFET amplifier for sale by the original owner.  I purchased this amp directly from Reno Hi-Fi.  The F3 is no longer in production.  It's a rare opportunity to obtain a great sounding class-A amplifier made by Nelson Pass himself!

The unit is in mint condition, I could not find any imperfection upon close inspection.  I rate it to 8/10 just to be conservative.  I'm only selling it because I upgraded to much more expensive First Watt SIT-1 mono-blocks.

I owned Pass Labs Aleph 3 which is a classic/benchmark for single-ended class-A power amplifier.  I sold the Aleph 3 after I compared it with the F3.  The F3 is even more pure and natural sounding than Aleph 3.  It offers a magical mid-range similar to tube amp, but without the hassle (I've a pair of Cary 300B mono-blocks which I put aside after I acquired First Watt amp).  It was the only Power JFET amplifier in the world when it first came out.

I used the F3 in my second system.  I obtained great result with the Merlin VSM speakers.  The F3 drove the Merlin to high volume without strain, a quality 15 watts goes a long way!  Below is the link to the 6moon review:
