MINI TORII FOR SALE
02/18/13 at 19:08:07

MINI TORII - Purchased new by me in April, 2010; serial number 0083. white chassis, 6x4 tube rectification. The amp is in excellent condition with standard walnut base. The unit will be supplied with a complement of NOS tubes (JAN Sylvania 6V6; Raytheon 0C2, Sylvania 6X4; 0A3; 12AU7A).

I simply have too many amps (if that is even possible) in my life right now.

A new MINI costs $1,800.00. I am offering this to the DECWARE community for just $1,100.00.

If the purchaser is interested, DECWARE will apply the current upgrades, EZ81 rectification, Jupiter caps and feedback control for $400.00; for $100.00 additional they will thoroughly bench test the unit, ensuring that it conforms to factory specifications and send it to the new purchaser with a new lifetime warranty. This will cost significantly less than a new unit, which would come to you with a black wrinkle finish.

Pictures are available on request

Sorry for extreme delay response, went on vacation after receiving it and lost track of time.
So it is fantastic in my wifes sewing room driving a pair of Orb speakers with a little sub from Orb. Not any thing like high end sound coming from those speakers but I do not think they could sound any better than they do now. Used to have a Rotel 972 amp and there is no comparison in sound quality. The Mini just buries the Rotel. I never thought the Orbs could do detail but it is there and they play plenty loud for her so that works out perfect.
I did try them with some B and W 804 Diamonds and that is not a good match.
I did notice that source is super important. Profound difference between IPod and OPPO Blue Ray player
Also the look, which is very important to wife, is fantastic. Love those tubes glowing. Beautiful sound beautiful amp love it.

I may have to try it just to see how it sounds.
