Yamaha MX-D1 Power Amplifier
I really didn't want to part with this, but it's sacrificing itself for the sake of my processor
A very rare Yamaha MX-D1 digital stereo power amplifier with balanced and unbalanced inputs, and capable of 500wpc into 8ohms, and 1000wpc into 4ohms (and 2ohms). Despite that, it doesn't get hot, and is only 60mm tall. I've had this up against a modern £5k powerhouse, and whilst obviously sounding a bit different, it was easily up with it for driving and controlling a pair of KEF Blade loudspeakers. Clean, low noise floor, powerful, effortless.
Here's Yamaha's brochure: download.yamaha.com/api/asset/file/?language=en&site=usa.yamaha.com&asset_id=35940
Here's a Stereophile review: www.stereophile.com/content/yamaha-mx-d1-digital-power-amplifier-page-2#Cj3XQ4jX4gsY5DUM.97
It is in very good/excellent condition (being gloss black around the sides, it is obviously showing minor signs of use as gloss black does, but very hard to photograph) and comes with its original box and packaging. Very rare to find nowadays, although not as rare as the matching passive pre-amplifier, which I've never been able to find!
Including insured delivery (collection is welcome), I'm looking for £995.
It doesn't look like these images will work via desktop, so if not, I'll add them later via the app. Hopefully!
