Gato Audio Amp-150 Integrated Amplifier

For sale is a Gato Audio Amp-150 S/N 002100015 in excellent condition. I am conservatively rating this 8/10 due to some very fine hairline scratches in the gloss finish on the wood inlay top panel.
Designed and built in Copenhagen Denmark, this integrated amplifier is stunning in appearance and sound, with a level of craftsmanship hard to find at any price. At only 12.8" wide and 4.2" high, it is refreshingly compact for any high-end component, let alone an amplifier that produces 150W/ch into 8 ohms, and 250W into 4.
From Wayne Garcia's Absolute Sound review:
"Playing the classic EMI recording of Barbirolli’s Mahler Fifth Symphony only underlined the obvious. Brass choirs sounded rich and throaty, strings wonderfully rich and resinous, and percussion explosive while still retaining the entire range of available timbre. Dynamic range cruised from nearly hushed whispers to full-on, seemingly limitless orchestral climaxes. And here one can argue that, at least power-wise, more is indeed better. These Gato designs made these well-known passages thrilling."
"their exceptional musicality and ability to draw listeners into the music played combined with an exceptional beauty of design and delightful operation—makes it hard for me to imagine anyone, excepting the most diehard lover from the romantic school of music reproduction, who wouldn’t be delighted by what Gato has achieved."
