I owned the first version and it was a nice little amp; very much enjoyed it. At the time had hybrid Apogee Centaur speakers with a ModWright SWL 9.0 SE with all Clear Days cables… Kimber power cords except on the amp. Was a very nice modest system. Mine was pristine and gave it to a cousin. I bought it used I recall for $120 but that was probably 7+ years ago. I moved to an ARC 100.2 which was a far superior amp but it should be for an amp used is around $1700. I’d shoot for $200 and see if you can cap it at $250. Very clean simple amp and I’d be surprised if the caps need replaced… I bet they’re fine even for it’s age.
B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision
I have heard good things about this old amplifier. I like lush sound and read this amp fits the bill. Is it that good? Is it worth to pay $300 for it?
I have read there are two versions of this amp. I believe the one I put links below is the first/“better” version. Can someone confirm?
I don’t see any serial or tag on the back but it is old, so it is fine. I doubt it is something else inside :)
It is in working condition but probably would need to be recapped soon. So, that’s another cost. I do want to try this type old amps but then I am not that handy when it comes to fixing this type of stuff. Can do some fixing but not enough.
