Decware Zen Torii MK 3 (Walnut) Excellent Cond.

I bought this amazing tube amplifier last year and only used it less than 30 hours. I absolutely love it and this is the best amplifier I have ever heard, but due to personal reasons I am selling a lot of equipment including this beauty. This is very high quality, made in USA amplifier from Decware. I will ship this in the rock solid Pelican case (valued at $299) with all the original/stock tubes. It has upgraded 21 position Stepped Attenuator (I paid $150 extra for this) and standard audiophile caps. It can easily be classified as 10/10 mint condition.

Item Description
---------------------------------
TORII MK III Zen Torii Reference Amplifier

Select Voltage: 110/120 Volts
Base Style: Contemporary walnut base
Capacitors: Audiophile caps
Volume Control: 21 position Stepped Attenuator
Custom Case: Ship in standard carton
Output tubes: Stock Quad of Premium EL34's

FEATURES:

• Dual mono design with a power supply for each channel to preserve stereo separation and dynamics.
• Tube regulation to filter off the harmonics and artifacts from the power supply giving you 100% grain free sound with jet black backgrounds.
• Trim control on each channel so you can adjust the tightness of the bass perfectly for any given loudspeaker. It does this by putting the voice coil of your loudspeaker in parallel with one of the resistors inside the amp so that the loudspeakers fluctuating impedance can tell the amp to put out more or less power. It does this in real time, nearly at the speed of light.
• Trim control on each channel for the treble. This allows you to adjust the top end this amp offers so that virtually any loudspeaker can sound right, be it a Lowther full range driver or your favorite hi-fi speaker.
• Two pair of input jacks and a master gain control. This means you can hook two sources up to the TORII MK III and use the master gain as a volume control making the use of a preamp completely optional.
• CCE mod, a Decware breakthrough in 2009 that turns the EL34 output tube into a super tube. Forget about paying $900 for exotic tubes, the EL34 - an already famously good sounding valve - is the only popular audio pentode of this size that does not have the extra grids internally connected. The CCE mod, aka Hazen grid mod, virtually eliminates the universal problem all tubes have of stray electrons bouncing off the plate for stunning clarity.
• Self biasing. While it can use your choice of KT88, KT77, 6550 or EL34's, there are no worries about adjusting the bias - ever. Tubes last for several years in this amp and there is virtually no maintenance. All you ever have to do is turn it on and enjoy music.
• Proprietary USA made power and output transformers. Designed with the best grain oriented silicon steel cores and meticulous interleaving you can be sure that those who copy the TORII with off the shelf transformers will not have the DECWARE sound.
• Hand constructed and soldered from start to finish by a single person. It's using top grade components, switches, connectors, gold sockets and silver wire all soldered together with the absolute minimum number of nodes. There are no circuit boards. These amps are fine example of American made ART and could never be built like this, were they to go into mass production.
