Up for sale is a Decware Torii MK IV. It does not have one blemish on it. It has the walnut base in pristine condition. Listing it here for a few days before placing on Audiogon and Craig’s list. I’m going to rate it a 9/10; but only because I’m the second owner. First owner had this magnificent amp one year and sold it because of hardship. I have had it since late March last year. I’m only selling because over the last year I’ve accumulated two more tube amps and am custom building a third.
This is a gutsy 25 watt amp. I've used speakers from 86 sensitivity to 105. (Definitive Tech BP-20's, Klipsch Cornwall III's and my fav, the Decware HR's.) It has the stepped attenuation option ($150) and has VCaps instead of the stock capacitors ($500). It is happy with either 4 or 8 OHM speakers.
After purchase, I sent it back to Steve because initial shipping caused a valve drift issue. After, Steve went over it and checked it out thoroughly, I transferred the warranty. In hindsight, not knowing these amps are built like tanks and relatively easy to work on, I wouldn’t have done the transfer. As a part of the transfer, Steve totally re-tubed it before sending it back to me. All the new tubes Steve sent are less than one year old as were the originals.
I am including one quad of Tung-Sol KT66’s, one quad of Genalex new issue KT66’s, a quad of Tung-Sol EL34’s, and a quad of Electro Harmonix 6L6GC output tubes. I will also send a pair of new Cryo Treated Philips 5R4G’s that I got from Upscale Audio, plus an extra pair each of OC2’s and OA3R’s. If it is important to you, I would be willing to send you a copy of the invoice where Steve checked the amp, re-tubed it and transferred the warranty. The original pelican Case is also included.
I also had a custom plexiglass dust cover made by JMK Displays Inc. (See Pictures)
I’ll include it in the price. If you do not want the cover, I’ll knock off $100.00. (It also fits another amp I have)
I will ship the cover and tubes in a separate container for safety sake.
I’m asking $3,000.00 with the cover and all the extra tubes. I prefer Paypal. Feel free to ask and I’ll send you my cell in case you have questions.
