The venerable Boulder 865 integrated amplifier. Many rave reviews online, praising its neutral, transparent, and detailed sound, yet never veering into brightness or fatiguing sound. It has commanded control of my Wilson Audio Sashas, with an effortlessness and apparent endless reserve of clean and dead-quiet power. This is so well made it has stood the test of time without modification in Boulder's lineup as their only integrated. 17 watts of pure class A before transitioning to class A/B 150 watts @ 8ohms (Stereophile measured far above that) 300 watts @ 4ohms (Again, I believe more than measured at that) **Includes the Boulder-built XLR-SE converter cables, incase you don't have/want balanced/XLR.**
I'm marking it an 8 due to the two very small nicks (see the pics) on the top edge of the face plate. There are also signs of wear on the remote, including a small scratch on the underside of the remote. Everything functions perfectly, and it sounds amazing. I'm selling only to go back to tube separates (at twice the cost). This model was ordered and made in Dec of 2013 and began its life of use in Jan 2014. Many more years of great service to music ahead, and a top-shelf company and customer service to boot. Original box, remote, manual, included. Happy to answer questions or share my listening impressions. Good luck and thank you!
