Boulder 866 Integrated Amplifier

FYI. If no one purchases this amp, it will go to The Music Room next week (January 5) I have a beautiful Boulder 866 integrated amplifier in mint condition for sale. Note that this is the analogue version, so it does not have the internal dac. I am the original owner, and I purchased it new from an authorized and received it direct from Boulder in May 2020. It works as intended with the bluetooth remote and is in mint condition.  I did not try to use it by hooking it to my LAN to control by my phone as it seemed simpler to use the remote. You would have difficulty telling it from new. It is a beast of an amplifier putting out 200 watts into 8 ohms and 400 W into 4 ohms. But while the 866 may has massive power and control, it also has a gorgeous midrange and treble. The amp plays so beautifully that you can listen for hours and hours with absolutely no fatigue. The amp comes complete with Bluetooth remote, factory packaging, power cord, and quick start guide. The amp comes from a smoke and pet free home. Payment may be by bank wire or PayPal Friends and Family. If you want to use regular PayPal, you will need to include the $300 charges in your offer. I have many years of perfect feedback with dozens of happy buyers. Some even noted that what they bought was better than I described it. Insured shipping will be $125. I would also be willing to deliver within 150 miles of Dallas, TX.  Preference and a significant discount will be given to a buyer within driving distance so that I can hand deliver.  Save a couple grand and get a like new 866.  Only one other 866 has been sold used.  It brought $12000 net.  It did have the internal dac. 
I have had some inquiries about having the dac installed by Boulder. It is so expensive that there is no point in buying an analogue model and having Boulder install the dac.  
Please see excerpts from a Positive Feedback review below:

"Lonely Stranger" is perhaps one of the most deeply personal, soul revealing, and beautiful songs ever written. This song captures something in me, it's touching in a darkly romantic way. I cry every time I hear it. The 866 did not disappoint delivering the essential emotional content through startling sonic clarity. With this clarity comes an authenticity to texture, timbre, and insight into not only this recording but all other recordings I played through the 866. The 866 turns each recording into a thrilling journey, even my well worn favorites.

The thing that struck me on first listen, and the quality from which all the other strengths seem to spring, is the sheer transparency and articulation of the 866. That's two actually, three if you cast them under the umbrella of neutrality. The 866 is capable of world class effortless rendition of detail and ultra clean transient speed. A dead silent atmosphere holds copious volumes of space. All of this information allows you to listen very deeply into a recording.

Even at full throttle the 866 never flamed out on me. There was outstanding bass detail, super clean bass transients, and a focus to the shape of some of the most powerful bass ever recorded. The 866 lets you know exactly when the note starts and when it stops. Added to the outstanding control, the texture and color of low end bass notes goes hand in hand with the overall transparency and detail.
I found I could endlessly turn up the volume level without a hint of the 866 loosing its grip on the bass, or squashing the separate instrumental lines into a mush. I can't emphasize this enough, the 866 is a monster at controlling the signal at both the loudest or softest volumes.

The Boulder 866 makes an incredibly compelling overall case. I had a feeling it would be good, but not this good. I was not prepared for how good the 866 would be. No matter how you cut it this integrated amplifier DAC/streamer is a triumph of audio design and engineering. Do not skip over this piece if you are shopping any where near the price. And please, do not let the relatively compact stature fool you—this thing is a beast. It is truly cutting edge in sonics, capabilities, and construction. In 25 years of sampling audio gear, the Boulder 866 is one of the best audio components I've ever reviewed.
