For Sale: Audio Synthesis Desire Decade Power Amp

[alanbeeb]

I have too many amps in the house.... some of them need to go!

Very clean sounding 175W Power amp with balanced & single ended inputs. Recently serviced by Audio Synthesis.

I'm told it works very well with passive preamps, due to very high input impedence (for a solid state amp). I found it also worked very well with a Krell active preamp. Very rhythmic & involving, not fat or sloppy sounding. It will of course be the perfect partner for an Audio Synthesis DAC with volume control.

Details & Specs at http://www.audiosynthesis.co.uk/desire.htm.

I think these cost about £2.5k new but you can have this perfect, boxed example for £1000 ono. incl UK postage.

I will take some pictures and post links later, or PM me for them. Thanks for looking.

hi, can you tell me how old this amp is?

 

[alanbeeb]

Not entirely sure of its original date of manufacture but it was upgraded to current specification just a few months ago when it was serviced by AS. It is still their current model so cannot be very old!

I'll send the S/N to AS to see if they can tell me when it was manufactured.

Here are some pictures. There are a few scuffs on the top plate, but nothing significant.
