Just reduced my price from 4700$ to 4270$ for the holidays. Thanks for your consideration ____________________________________________________________________
For your consideration, the stellar Crayon CIA-1T intergrated amplifier (can be switched to an amplifier at a flip of a switch)
Selling this amplifier in order to thin out the heard of amplifiers that I have in my collection. I have commissioned an 808 tube amplifier that has better synergy with my Voxativ Dué speakers. If you have any open baffle or closed box speakers, this intergrated amplifier will NOT disapoint.
This amplifier is par with my 2a3, 45, 45 integrated, and 300b single ended amplifiers paired with a tube preamplifier. The Crayon CIA 1T has been nothing less than a revelation for me considering that I have run with single ended tube amplifiers in the past 10 years. The unit has this quality of conveying the flow and intimacy of music that is perfectly at home compared to SET magic (minus the hassle of tubes...)
I have bought this integrated from Vince that distributes the brand in Canada. Vince has always been frank and honest in our dealings and is an excellent and passionate retailer in the high end audio world. I would advocate for him anytime and buy from him again without flinching. Just excellent service.
You may have guessed that this integrated is absolutely silent and, in this price range, operates at reference levels. I have enjoyed the amplifier for less than 2 years now in my office. It is the last iteration of the CIA-1T range from the designer Krammer at Crayon Audio. Older versions of the CIA 1T sell for less on the used market and do not have the last upgrades that make this integrated stellar.
You can look up some reviews of this amplifier. They are all excellent and some reviewers are dumbfounded by this unassuming integrated amplifier. If you have any kind of full range or bookshelf speakers you will rediscover not only your speakers but your dac and vinyl setup. This amplifier has been outfitted with a phono card (800 euro value). The fuses also have been upgraded: SR Quantum Blue fuses.
Thanks
Stéphane
