Decware Zen TORII Mk II Tube Amplifier

**Please click here to check out our newly launched SkyFi Audio website with additional items for sale

We are not going to write very much about this highly regarded amplifier, as the manufacturer does such such a great job at documenting their own process and design intent. 

Read all about it here: http://www.decware.com/paper68.htm

Condition is near perfect without any scratches or sings of use. 

All tubes were tested in our calibrated BK precision tester and passed with flying colors.  Amp was run on our load tester at full output power and the noise and distortion was less than expected.  This all means it's ready to make a client really happy!

Great Review from the Decware site:

My Zen TORII MK II Review:

Having one of the original 10 of these amps (#6), I can definitiely say I have never heard better. I have said it before, if you have a chance, listen to this amp. I still find it hard to believe that this is a PP amp, but hearing is believing. The speed, detail, and soundstaging leave me giddy at times, and it's still breaking in..... Thanks Steve once again you have delivered in spades

The TorII MKII is my third Decware product (ZenB upgraded to C, and ZP 2.0). I have had this amp for about 2.5 weeks now, the first 5 days I literally could not stay in the room and was seriously thinking I had made a mistake and would have to take advantage of the 30 day return policy. After the 5th day there was a noticable improvement as the highs smoothed out and the imaging started to fall into place on a consistentant basis. On day 8 or 9 I really started to be drawn into what this amp was doing.

The speed, attack, clarity and imaging of this amp are nothing short of jaw dropping. Vocals are to die for, how can this possibly be a PP Amp? As if this wasn't enough, it continues to improve on a daily basis. To date the only tube rolling I have done is to change out the stock 6n1p input tubes to Siemens CCaa's. As it stands right now, I think this is the only tube rolling I will do ro quite a while. 

One thing to note about this amp is that it is utterly rutheless when it comes to revealing faults in your system... you hear everything, and I do mean everything. Any equipment changes are readily noticeable, and this amp is a cable tweakers dream. 

Bottom line, Steve has really knocked the ball way out of the park on this one. I believe that he has been very modest in what he has written about this amp, it is a huge accomplishement for DecWare. I would suggest that everyone who can go out of there way to hear this product, if you are like me you will be reaching for your wallet with a huge grin on your face.

WHO WE ARE 

SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high-end audio equipment.  We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk. 

Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold.  We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.

Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Pro-Ject Audio Systems, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support.  If you are local and looking for new equipment from the above-mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area.

PURCHASING GUIDELINES

We do not accept or review any offers that do not go through the official Audiogon system. We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please don’t message, email, or text any offers. 

If you do not see a “Make an Offer” button, it means we are not considering any offers on that item.   

PAYMENTS

We prefer working through PayPal which allows you to use a credit card or bank transfer. We do not charge extra for any payment fees if you purchase the item at the asking price.  You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order, or wire transfer. International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 

If you are picking up an item we do not accept PayPal.  You must pay in person with cash, certified or bank check, or wire transfer.  If you make a PayPal payment and are picking up the item, it will be returned. 

TRADE IN POLICY 

We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions.  Simply ask and let us know the exact model, condition, and the accessories that are included (such as the original box, remote, cables, manual, etc.).  We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated surround processors, and mid-fi equipment of any type.  We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we are running a business and will need to be able to resell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning, and packaging the incoming equipment.  If you are looking for top dollar we suggest attempting to sell it directly to an end user on your own.

SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken)

We will also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you are in our local market. Just drop us a note for a quote but be sure to include the condition and what is included. 

HOW TO VISIT US                                                                                                        

We are currently operating from a residence in Ridgewood, NJ.  You are welcome to make an appointment if there is a piece of equipment you would like to see in operation before or after purchase.  We have a well-equipped, dedicated listening room with tons of equipment of all makes and models.  We are not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you are just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds.  In essence, no tire kickers please.

If you are in NYC and cannot make it out to Ridgewood, we can arrange pickup in Union Square (14th Street) after the purchase.   You can call or text 646.852.2073 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.  We can also arrange to install, calibrate, and tune the gear in your listening room if you are local to the area.  This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers.  It is also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.  

Thanks for looking and please click here if you would like to receive a list of the equipment we receive from time to time.  We promise not to bombard you with junk email.
