If you’re reading this, then i’m guessing you know what a serious piece of kit this is with an RRP of 15,000.The reviews say it all regarding the phenomenal 75W sound that comes from this amp plus the one-box solution and versatility with onboard DAC, Phono Stage, Headphone Amplifier.I find the sound from this staggering but just don’t find time to listen to it and so looking to downsize my hi-fi (at the compromise of sound quality).Bought as new from a hi-fi dealer in Oct 2017 with only about 200 hours in total on the tubes so just nicely broken in!Amp comes with all original packaging, boxes etc and is in mint condition.– Please contact me before buying —Collection from North London possible otherwise I can arrange a courier that will be tracked and fully insured.

Official blurb below:GSi75 All in one chassis A preamplifier, amplifier, phono stage, and digital to analog converter all in one chassis, the GSi75 combines with your favorite speaker to deliver a singular and simple solution to control your listening system. Unlike other integrated designs that make performance – sacrificing compromises to fulfill a price point or form factor, the GSi75 harnesses the power and technologies developed by Audio Research into an authoritative platform to reveal the performances in your media.Powered with the new KT150 output tube, the GSi75 supplies finesse and control that belies the 75-watt per channel power rating. The digital-to-analog converter will handle almost any sampling frequency including DSD. The phono stage and headphone amplifier round out the GSi75, providing total system control and integration. The elegant, understated industrial design will complement the rest of your system both visually and sonically.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONPOWER OUTPUT 75 watts per channel continuous from 20Hz to 20kHz. 1 kHz total harmonic distortion typically 1.5% at 75 watts, .05% at 1 watt. Approximate actual power available at clipping 80 watts (1kHz). (Note that actual power output is dependent upon both line voltage and condition i.e.: if power line has high distortion, maximum power will be affected adversely, although from a listening standpoint this is not very critical.)POWER BANDWIDTH (-3dB points)  12Hz to 70kHz.FREQUENCY RESPONSE (-3dB points at 1 watt)  1.0Hz to 70 kHz.INPUT SENSITIVITY 0.55V RMS Single-ended for rated output.
