FS: Rachel SE34i.4 with Bias Mod and UFO upgrades
06/09/17 at 15:20:09
 
Reluctantly looking to sell my Rachel SET Amp, purchased in Nov 2014 and just recently (two months ago) upgraded with UFO and Bias Mods.
Features:
6N2P Input Tubes
Single Input Pair
Variable RCA Out Jacks (great for hooking up a sub)
Dual Volume Knobs with Stepped Attenuators (Cream Chicken Head Knobs)
Jupiter Beeswax II Caps
Contemporary Walnut Base
No Headphone Jack

I'll upload pictures this weekend. Non-smoking house, no pets, no damage, practically mint condition. Was just shipped back to Decware for the UFO and Bias mods, and checked out in the process. No problems whatsoever. UFO upgrade provides wider bandwidth transformer, definitely improves the sound. Bias mod allows real-time switching between low and high impedance output, lets you pick the best setting depending on your speakers.

ASKING $1600 - no 12+ wk wait for this, already burned in.

Only selling to upgrade for a more powerful amp to really drive my ERRx speakers louder. Moved my stereo into a much larger area in the basement and I just need more power.

Doug, after buying my ERRx speakers, I went amp shopping, and the Rachel was the amp I wanted to pair them up with. Before pulling the trigger, I called Steve to get his thoughts.
Given my very large listening room, Steve felt that the Torii Jr. would be a better match. I ended up going that route, and it was a great decision. Awesome combination.

Sorry, but I've decided to keep this amp and change speakers. I just can't get past how delightful this amp is, articulate and transparent. Just need to match speakers better for my needs.

No longer for sale.

Doug, when looking, consider the Zu Audio "Soul" speakers.  They are 99 dB and 8 0hm.  Relatively cheap.  I use a pair in my second system with 2.3 WPC Zen Monoblocks.  Work great.  Mark.

This is a bummer for me, but who am I to separate a fella from his best gal?  ;)
That Rachael sure is a real sweet heart!
