Enleum AMP-23R

Further Information: 

Hi all,

I have had the Enleum AMP-23R for about 5 months now and have absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. It's speed / effortlessness, clarity, tuning / timbre and drive is incredible with both headphones (any) and relatively high efficiency loudspeakers (or low efficiency ones operating in a small room).

Recently, I've been curious about the tube amp scene as I'm running Focal Utopia 2022 headphones, and its synergy with tube amps elevates it to a higher plane than any SS amp at any price point. Hence, I've decided (or have no choice but) to sell the AMP-23R to fund the Feliks Audio Envy headphone amp. It was actually the AMP-23R that got me thinking as the amp itself has a slight tube-like response and sounded incredible with the Utopia '22.

Additionally, my previous goal was to run both speakers and headphones, hence the AMP-23R was perfect. However, now I've decided to just stick to headphones (due to acoustic issues with my house / room that I can't bother fixing) so I have no need for the speaker drive capability of the amplifier.

- RRP is $11,000

- Nominal 45Wpc into 4 ohm and 25Wpc into 8 ohm

- The amplifier is a Zero Negative Feedback SS amp utilizing EXICON MOSFETS, which are tuned to have a tube-like response.
- The input buffers are fully discrete and gain circuitry operates in full current mode with gain bandwidth product of the buffers exceeding 1 MHz.
- There is no "volume control"; this amp is a variable gain power amp with 1,024 individual gain settings ranging up to 22.5dB. The "low gain" mode limits the full swing of the gain control (1,024 steps) to max 7dB, "high gain" mode maps the full swing of the gain control to a full 22.5 dB. 
- This AMP-23R is serial H012; it is from the latest production run of the amp.

- Incredible build quality through and through

- Warranty is for two years, so plenty of time left.

- Comes with full retail packaging, metal remote and the three TAKT vibration feet (I am not using those in the pictures), all in mint condition.
