Denon DRA-1035r 135w/ch Receiver Class A

In my opinion the Optical Class A amps that Denon produced in the late 1980's and early 1990's were their best sound. The DRA-1035R was their top-of-the-line model.  I've owned many of these Denons and they are truly an audiophile quality piece.  This one is working perfectly with one of the best FM sections I have ever encountered in a receiver.  As a long-time audiophile the Denon compares favorably to any of my gear costing many times more.  It has body imperfections with some loss of paint by small scratches on the top.  It is missing the AM antennae on the rear.  The remote is a bit used but working great.  I can see some minor battery corrosion but it has been partially cleaned and no problem working.  No extra charge for paypal purchase and pick-up is available for anyone who wishes to visit beautiful Lomita, Ca known for it's small train museum. Here is the conclusion of a review at http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/denon-dra-1035r-62.html:   "In most of its performance characteristics, the DRA-1035R ranks among the finest receivers we have tested. Indeed, few separate tuners can match its FM performance, and its amplifier section is certainly among the most powerful (in actual performance, especially with dynamic signals) to be found among today's stereo receivers." "The receiver's dynamic power output was an impressive 203 watts into 8 ohms, 350 watts into 4 ohms, and 505 watts into 2 ohms (the 20-millisecond tone bursts of this measurement do not pose a risk to the output transistors or fuses). Dynamic headroom (8 ohms) was 1.94 dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD + N) of the power-amplifier section at 1,000 Hz (into 8 ohms) was 0.012 percent at a 1-watt output and 0.0039 percent at 65 and 130 watts."
