Cosmetic Description: 7/10 Very good cosmetic condition with some minor visible cosmetic wear including a few very light rub marks on the tops and faceplates of both units. There are two very small nicks on the top left corner of one faceplate and a 1" scratch and a minor scuff on the top panel of the other. The rear panels and handles of both units are slightly deflected. These items have some very light wear but still present like new from your listening position.

Functional Notes: There is a slight buzz coming from the speakers in most input and output modes. However, this is greatly improved when the input mode is switched to balanced, regardless of the input used. The rail voltage VU meters are out of calibration, but cannot be adjusted. Otherwise the operational condition of these amplifiers is excellent, fully tested and no other issues found.

Other Notes: Note: These amplifiers sound great. They are known to have some level of quiet buzz during normal operation, but this is normal and undetectable at regular listening levels. It is recommended to use the amps in "Balanced" mode regardless of which input is used for optimum listening conditions.

"Listening to the PBN Olympia-L and Mini-Olympia enlarged my appreciation for music, broadening a sonic palette I’d thought already discerning enough. The PBNs introduced me to levels of articulate power and to subtleties of sound that had been missing from my listening. I’d dwelt in smaller sonic vales and villages until the PBNs arrived to guide me to a wider world of audio awareness and a deeper pleasure in listening to music. While I felt more comfortable listening to operatic and choral voices through the liquidity and naturalness of my reference combination of tube preamp and amp, I’m going to miss the PBNs’ effortless dynamics, immense scale of sound, and superb ability to present exquisite musical detail. Never have piano and orchestral music, rock, blues, and jazz sounded better or more thrilling in my listening room. Never has one set of electronics made me sit up and question what had seemed an immutably stark line of connoisseurship dividing the aficionados of glass and sand amplification.

PBN Audio’s Olympia-L and Mini-Olympia are well engineered and impressively built assaults on this division. They combine much of the grace and finesse of tubes with the power, precision, and effort-free maintenance of the best of solid-state. And in terms of pure clarity, I’ve heard nothing better." -Sound Stage Ultra
