Sold: Black Widow v1 with 12V supply + BW2 PS parts

It's a long story but I have (3) Black Widow v1 amps. Very few were made in the two case small chassis.

Selling this one that I bought last year from pure5152 and this thread:
https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/fs-pure5152-garage-sale.9773/

I will post more pics tomorrow but here is his pic of the BW2 power supply board and toroidal transformer:


Did not use as I have (2) BW1 with the BW1 external supply (one at home and one at office).
I wanted to compare BW1 to BW2 power supply but did not get around to making the BW2 power supply.
The amp will come with the in-line brick 12V switching power supply and the BW2 Craig PS board and toroidal transformer to make your own BW2 PS.

As you can see in the previous FS thread, I paid $950. Selling at $900 + shipping.

 

Selling in 3... 2... 1...

Some additional info: only ~11-12 of these were ever made. I bought this directly from craig for $950, passed it along to CEE_TEE for that price as well, and now he's passing it along for an even cheaper price. This retailed for ~$1150 when it was released. At $900 it's a steal.

Still can hold its own as one of the best solid state amps to date. Does not suffer from the soldering issues that BW2 had and is more reliable. Because of its smaller size, can even be "transportable" (that's what Craig said to me), and that gives it more versatility.

If you get this, I recommend either building the power supply, or buying an iFi Power Elite X 12V which is really good and should work great with this amp for a compact form factor.

..but you probably don't need convincing. I'm guessing this will have sold by the time you're done reading this

 

Thank you, @pure5152 !!
Sale pending...will update when final. THAT WAS FAST. (As it should be...I still have 2 of them for reasons.)

 

Thank you everyone for your interest! I did have the amp picked up today, so closing the thread...
