ASR Audio Emitter II Exclusive Battery Version Blue 2013 - with upgrades

Emitter II Exclusive Battery, Version Blue, model 2013 (from 2012), forerunner of recent model, 230V/240V version (to drive it in USA on 220V-line of air-conditioning unit no problem!). In wonderful near mint condition! It comes with all original-accessories, documents, manual and the beautiful Corian remote-control (near mint too), original shipping-boxes available. Nonsmoker-household.

It has full upgrade to incoming-stage of recent model, 1 symmetric and 5 RCA inputs (2x WBT-nextgen), additional 1direct in and tape-output. The following extras are built in (original made by ASR): SUB-output and a unique voltage-reduction for OPA of incoming-stage, switchable in -0.6V-steps, that allows a sound-finetuning of incoming-OPA - especially to the sensible OPA-843SQ - and generally the possibility of more extended OPA-rolling (843SQ not build in because of upgrade but enclosed). One of the world very best amps ever build, nearly UNBEATABLE! (except by the very newest model :-), so I'm selling it because of upgrade to model 2016.

For calculating shipping-costs; package-size and weight, sent as four boxes (box in box):
1x Amp: 94 x 67 x 59 cm, net 47 kg, total 63 kg
1x Battery-Supply: 61 x 53 x 38 cm, net 32 kg, total 36 kg
2x Power-Supply: 61 x 53 x 38 cm, net 26 kg, total 30 kg (total 159 kg = 350.50 lbs)
For calculating incoming-tax: HS-code is 85185000

In any questions - shipping-costs to your location, whatever - please contact me.

Please note: Because of continuous development Emitters since 2013 are sounding better than older units built before, that are not really comparable with older models (have had all and changed to each newest one because of better sound).

Fixed price, price-ballers will be ignored. NO Paypal (!) - bank-transfer ONLY.

Im willing to give 1000.- USD rebate for cash and carry (from Munich in Bavaria) or self-organized shipping (picked up by your own shipping-agency or friend), so I will not have any effort with shipment.

Some excerpts from the reviews:

Jeff Day - Positive Feedback Online | April 2013
".... The ASR Emitter II Exclusive is one of those very rare audio components that sounds superb in reproducing the sonic aspects of recordings as well as musical content of recordings, but also transcends both of those categories of attributes to make the recorded music listening experience come alive and be involving in the way a live musical experience is, engaging my emotions and immersing me into the artistic experience of the music. I have found Friedrich Schaefer's ASR Emitter II Exclusive to be simply the finest musical transducer in an amplifier that I have ever encountered. The ASR Emitter II Exclusive is very adept at presenting the music in a true high-fidelity manner with an intense level of musical involvement. The ASR Emitter II Exclusive does everything right with musical attributes like timbre, melody, harmonies, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, loudness, and beat. It also does everything right on audiophile sonic parameters like transparency, soundstage, soundspace, and imaging. ...."

David Chesky wrote, very satisfied about new incoming-stage, in an open thank-you letter to manufacturer:
"Dear Friedrich Thanks for the mod I think its sounds more organic. Also it helps the depth and low level detail. Some would say it sounds soft, but in fact it is more resolved. it takes less of the artificial energy of the upper mid range away and makes it more real. I think it is a nice improvement sometime high end audio is more like florescent colors, and in real life we have more pastels The amp now sound more like real life. I have told others to try it ... It is a nice step closed to be able to recreate live music. Nice work !!!! thanks David"
