Audible Illusions Modulus 3

Make: Audible Illusions ["AI"]
Model: Modulus 3 (with separate power supply + extra AI-stamped tube ["E88CC"])
Serial Number: M3930718
Place/Time of Purchase: Audio Connections retail shop, Verona, New Jersey; early 2000s
Packing: a) original carton and (very good) packing b) owner's manual but no receipt
Condition in Appearance:  essentially pristine* *flaws: tiny few nicks along right side of EDGE to faceplate - hardly discernible from a few inches away
Condition in Performance: works fine - no noise or noises; controls have a smooth & solid feel; gives off modest heat; volume knob is the 'non-clicking' type; only used the C.D.player mode
History: Sent by shop by UPS to California home and garaged over the years; recently opened and used for maybe 25+ hours in the last few months. CLEAN ENVIRONMENT ALL THE WAY AROUND (no animals; no children; no smoking--the usual caveats)
Rationale for Selling: my integrated amp [Primare I30] got taken (!) and I miss it (it had a stereo separation to die for and was dead quiet). The A.I. has served as back-up with an  Audire Forte power amp (also selling). Plan to upgrade to an integrated, once again.

Location: Southern California (Long Beach)
Price: $850 [postal money order]
