Note: if there is no full price offer by 1/10/15 then I am selling it to my friend who owns a stereo store, so if you want it, act now! It won't be here on Sunday!   Beautifully  transparent and detailed Esoteric AI-10 integrated amplifier/DAC for sale. The amplifier is rated at 110 WPC into 8 ohms, 150 WPC into 4 ohms, yet drove my Wharfedale Opus 2-3 speakers more loudly than a 250 WPC Gato DIA 250 integrated amp so this has more than enough power to drive the overwhelming majority of speakers.

As a MOFSET amplifier the machine remains cool, no matter how long (or loud) your listening sessions are. Even more critical than the amplifier is the DAC section which includes a master-clock sync for those with compatible CDS players. Even if you don't have an Esoteric CD player (I don't), pairing the AI-10 to your CD player through either the coax digital or optical digital inputs allows for the integrated DAC to process the music, and that is where this machine really shines. The openess, sound staging and imagery have compared quite favorably to the Stello Ai-500 and Bryston's B100 integrated amps. For further information see the detailed article from March 2010 Soundstage magazine. The AI-10 earned the Reviewer's Choice award.

The amp will be shipped double boxed by FedEx. At my asking price shipping to the continental USA and PayPal fees are included. Sorry, no international sales.

The amplifier includes a remote, power cord, manual, original box. Thanks for looking.
