Viva 300p - Absolutely beautiful amp! Stunning Italian Design - Four 300b tubes - Very rare on used market, exceptional condition!

One of the most beautifully designed integrated amps in the world and the sound is 300b glorious!

This integrated is extremely rare on the used market. I have seen ONLY ONE in the last 10 years on Audiogon.

Of course all tubes including the 300b's (Electro Harmonix) are included in this sale.

About the amp:
* 5 inputs
* volume control
* power on, standby, play switch
* 4 x 300b driver tubes
* 1 x 12ax7, 1 x 6sn7 input tubes
* 17 watts per channel

This amp is no light weight. It is about 68 lbs and has some of the largest and best designed transformers made exclusively for Viva.

To keep things pure and simplement no remote was made for this amp.

This amp is in EXCELLENT cosmetic and sonic condition. I doubt you will ever find one better. The only reason for the "8" rating is due to a couple of very small marks at the bottom of one side (please see pics to see that I am very conservative in my rating)

Sonically this amp has no peer in its price range. The sound of four 300b tubes delivers the exquisite delicacy and lush midrange magic that you can only get from a well executed design of this concept. You truly have to experience it and you will become a convert!

This amp is also fully up to spec as it was given a complete checkup by its designer, Amedeo Schembri in 2012. Amedeo said that it was working perfectly and even commented that the sound was "beautiful".

And for all those who want to know how many hours on the tubes? LESS THAN 20 HOURS since I have owned it (you read it correctly, less than 20!)
This was the backup to my Thor system ($30,000) and since my Thor system never had a problem, this beautiful component was rarely used.

Why am I selling? It's time to downsize and I just sold my Thor components and no longer need this as a backup.
