Parasound A23 Stereo Power Amplifier; Multi-voltage
This amplifier is coming from the original, non-smoking, audiophile owner in exceptional condition. It is nearly flawless both in function and form. The only flaw I can see is a small blemish on the top of the case on the cooling vents... It was used to drive a set of B&W 703 speakers at moderate volumes. It has very low hours. Includes original owners manual. We will double box for safe delivery worldwide. See photos for details.
