Vanderkley Aurora - SOLD! £1100

[3Gorillas]

SOLD: Vanderkley Aurora Amp.

 

I purchased the amp some years ago directly from Marc Vanderkley. Condition is almost like new, I am nearly paranoid in taking care of my stuff. No dings, dongs, scratches etc. See the pictures…

The amp is working 100% reliable since day 1, (like everything I ever had from Marc Vanderkley, got almost the whole product line, I am a fan and friend almost from the first days on…).

 

The amp comes with the orginal case (the case does have some signs of wear as you can see from the pictures) and the original accessoires (manual, rack-ears, Headphone-adapter, powercable).

Extremely quiet fan, endless power and clearity. Unfortunately the amp has been discontinued and is rather hard to find these days.
 

Location is near Bonn / Cologne in Germany. The amp can be tested here, coffee and beer available, of course 😉

SOLD!
