Wanted: UFO Rachael

Dual volume controls & one input is fine.

Ultra Fidelity Output trannies would be manufacture after August 2015.
No variable outputs.
Jupiter Beeswax (not II's preferred).

I could buy new (Tubes not needed) for $1345. However, if you're antsy for another Decware Amplifier and want to part with this one...let me know.

Are you still looking for a second one of these?
Mine has the UFO transformer, one input, dual stepped attenuators, and I need to check on caps but I believe I have the beeswax ones. I do have a pair of the variable rca outputs though.

Looking to purchase the SE84UFO, let me know if you’re interested in this one and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks Doug for your response. I have decided to solely stay with my ZMA.

If the variable outputs are not needed, is there a downside to having them?

No downside if not connected. It’s a shunt open circuit, has no impact on the amp whatsoever.

Ok, guess I'll officially hijack the thread. Included are pictures of the amp. The pictures don't do the walnut base justice.

Specs are:
SE34i.4 - purchased in late 2014 from Decware (original owner).
Upgraded in 2017 with UFO transformers, so I believe this is now identical to new UFO versions of this amp being produced.

One input, RCA variable outputs, UFO transformers with impedance switches, Jupiter beeswax caps, dual stepped attenuator volume controls.

Asking $1250 plus shipping, unless I've already sent a PM to you.
I love this amp, but decided with my 97.5 dB efficient speakers to try the Zen amp instead. Hopefully it will be a good decision.

Amp will ship with tubes and stock cable, just wanted to show it without the tubes for those interested. Here is the inside.

That's a beautiful amp and a great price I think!
