You know this amp. Legendary, and for a reason.
This one is museum quality. I bought it from a shop in PA, where I did my residency. It belonged to thr shop owner as a "private stash" bit of NOS gear. Since I've bought it, I have less than 2 hours on it...I was way into my Mesa Walkabout for years and never bothered to find a preamp to mate the CA 9 to. Eventually I paired it with an Aggie db680 and I have to say I was/am floored by that combo. Heft, articulation, depth...its all there.
Why sell? Well, I've moved away from Baltic birch cabs and have 2 composite ones now. I'm afraid this amp at 52 lbs will crack/destroy them as they are 28 lbs each. Plus space is at a premium in the house so Class D it is.
These amps go for 300-600 in decent condition and they were 1400 new. This one is the cleanest one around as far as I can tell. 1/2 new is a good price for what is essentially an as new product.
Shipping I would like to avoid but if you want to bear that cost I can drop the amp off as at ups or FedEx, sure.
