Sony ta-f700 ES Excellent plus condition

This is a truly outstanding example of one of Sony's very finest integrated amps. If you are reading this you problably know about it, but in short, it is second only to the TA-F808ES which retailed for $1700. Note that sonically, I personally can not distinguish any difference in sound between it and my TA-F808ES. It is conservatively rated at 145 WPC @ 4 ohms and 110 WPC @ 8 ohms. It has a MM and MC phono stage which is load adjustable and probably of better sound quality than many current stand alone stages. It has numerous other features and sounds truly wonderful.I am rating it an 8 because of age, but on close inspection I see no scratches, dings or blemishes anywhere on the unit except for some hairline scratches on the top. Despite its outstanding cosmetic and functional condition I am listing it for $120 below the average Audiogon Bluebook price. This is a bargain considering the outstanding condition and sound of this unit.Pay Pal is welcome but there will be the usual 3% surcharge on the total price including shipping.
