Audio Note UK Vindicator Silver Signature

For your consideration is a high watermark of boutique SET amplification, and the first time ever offered on Audiogon in US 120V. My search for the ultimate in 2a3 single ended sound ended here a few years ago. I've never encountered another amp with this level of breathtakingly open, lucid midrange. This is accompanied with tight, articulate, layered bass details, and extended, etch-free, sweet highs. This is the best non-paralleled 2a3 amp that Audio Note UK makes. It is a level 3 product, which means: Pure Class A operation Zero Negative Feedback Single Ended Output Stage Valve Rectification Directly Heated Triode operation The Silver Signature version builds upon the already superb performance of the standard Vindicator, and features the following additions: Audio Note (UK) Copper Foil signal capacitors Cerafine capacitors in critical areas Audio Note (UK) 2 Watt Tantalum film resistors Audio Note (UK) SHiB Double C-core output transformers Silver RCAs Silver Speaker binding posts The nearest Audio Note level 4 product is $10,000, and is a paralleled 2A3, which in practical terms rules out the use of a matched Quad of NOS tubes based on their scarcity. NOS 2A3s are highly recommended, and will bring out the very best in this amp. It is in pristine condition as far as I can tell, with no visible (to my eyes at least) marks anywhere on it. PayPal adds 3%. Thanks.
