I took the amp in as part of a trade. Being a tube person, I wasn't sure what to expect. All I can say is wow, what a sound. Clean, smooth, extended with firm bass. I am rating a 8/10 as the cabinet has some scuffs/scratches/dents on either side in the top back. Easy fix with sanding and lacquer on this gorgeous natural oak cabinet. The seller packed the brass feet box in with the amp and it appears to have caused the damage as it weighs about 20 pounds. I will ship them separately. Also, there are rings/scraps on the bottom from the brass footers. The price reflects the minor damage which cannot be seen from the front.
As part of the mods, the on/off switch is bypassed so you have to unplug to turn off. The back and front face plates are not on tight and move a bit which is also part of the mods.

For the money, this is truly an outstanding amp. The price also includes a 3 meter pair of Q-Audio cable that list for $600. It has spades at the amp end as they use screws to attach like the old receivers. It has bananas on the speaker end and is a twisted black cloth material that has light dots on the positive side.

I will ad pictures later. Paypal ad 3%.

I am listening to the amp as I am typing and saying to myself, I must be crazy to sell. I have no choice so you get a good deal.

Thanks,
Art

FROM THE MAPLESHADE SITE:
The stock 351A is lavishly equipped: remote control, great-sounding motorized Alps volume control (instead of the usual sound-degrading digital attenuator), excellent headphone amp, defeatable tone controls and, amazingly, even a very listenable USB DAC to upgrade computer audio. We started by completely stripping away the vibration-prone, eddy-current-generating sheet metal chassis and its enclosure. To replace that, our Amish craftsmen created a solid 2" maple chassis-and-enclosure, adding an element of handcrafted beauty to the most massive circuit board mounting and vibration control measures we’ve ever implemented for an electronic component. Beyond that, our Base Mod Package for the 351A includes:

• Threaded 2" Low Heavyfeet integrated into the chassis
• Clearview Double Helix MK1 Plus AC Cord
• Upgraded internal grounds/wiring/capacitors/fuses
• Upgraded toroidal transformer and power supply filtration
• Bypassed AC switch and filtering
• Cryogenic treatment of all chip, circuit and power supply components
• Solid, air-dried maple enclosure finished with clear lacquer
• Silver or black faceplate

For perfectionist listeners, our Enhanced Mod Package incorporates all Base upgrades, plus:

• Internal power supply and signal path wiring replaced with Omega Mikro ribbons
• Brass footers upgraded to threaded 3" Low Megafeet
• AC cord upgraded to our very best Clearview Double Helix MK2Plus AC Cord
