Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Rev2.0 Most musical Integrated amp -- LIKE NEW!

 ---- IF INTERESTED, YOU CAN CALL ME AT 425-241-0826 West coast time

Up for sale is a relatively rare offering of what I consider the best sounding integrated amplifier below $3000!

I am reluctantly selling my Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Rev2.0 integrated amp. This is made with pride in Italy (NOT in China unlike most other brands in this price range). Do not confuse this with Audio Analogue's cheaper integrateds -- the sound & build quality of the Puccini Settanta is far superior. It is second from the top in their list of integrated amps (only the Maestro is higher).

This has found moderate use in my second system which now has to be dismantled.

This Italian beauty is an absolutely MINT condition -- you will not be able to tell it apart from a brand new piece. The amplifier is in 10/10 condition without any blemish. The remote is in 9/10 condition. I am very particular about taking care of my equipment as cosmetics are rather important to me. I handle all my stuff with cotton gloves!

It comes from a clean, smoke free/per free house where it was used in a dedicated audio room and only handled by me.

The AA Puccini Settanta is the most tube sounding solid state amp I have ever heard in my system (with none of the headaches associated with tubes such as replacement!)

This amp has beaten many other well regarded amplifiers in my system -- I will mention a partial list which includes brands such as top of the line Arcam, Creek, Exposure, Rega as well as mid level Naim. It edged out Primare's top integrated. The most surprising thing was when I preferred this Audio Analogue amp over Luxman's integrateds (I bought & ended up selling the Luxman L-505 u and L-507 integrateds). The Luxman amps, while being very good, sounded a little bit cold, thin and uninvolving when compared to the Puccini!

The Puccini has this gorgeous tone and musical flow that just draws you into the music. You can listen for hours without any fatigue. It adds weight to the music that other integrateds in its price range have a hard time matching. Despite its rating of 70 watts output at 8 ohms and 125 watts at 4 ohms, it is a very robust amp that can drive nearly all real world speakers (I tried it successfully with several speaker brands).

A bonus for vinyl enthusiasts -- it comes with a really nice phono stage!

The styling & build quality is superb (check the many photos). The remote is an all metal affair that can be used for personal protection!

You can read rave reviews about this on the web but i would like to include a link to an audiogon review by an audiophile that seems to capture the essence of this amplifier really well --
