Title: Octave Research OR-1
Post by: non-prophet on March 26, 2020, 06:58:43 PM

Pure class A, 45 wpc and stable down to less than an ohm.
 Freshly recapped, both driver boards.  Comes with a spare quad of power supply caps.  This might be the best sounding amp I have. Retailed for $4500 in the mid 80s.  Amazing driver control, image and presence.  Second to none build quality, the case is all machined aluminum.  Will power anything.  I figure to give you guys first shot before it goes to the open market (if one still exists).  This is a destination amp, if your needs are less than 100 wpc look no further.  PM for price, I don't want people to reference this if I list it on the other sites.

I remember hearing the OR-1 back when introduced.... it was one of the most musical amps I had heard. Nice post.

These are the spare power supply caps, they are 110000 uf 60v each (this amp uses all four).  Remember this is a 45 wpc @ 8 ohm amp!  That is a regular 12 oz beer bottle for reference

That beer looks good. 

When is Easter???  Besides having the economy coming back from the dead,  I'll be off this Lenten abstinence.
