female ballad song or artist from early 2000's ?
If you like the song, you must be able to at least tell us what some of the lyrics are. That should make identification pretty easy. 
Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
Why are you selling them?

Reissue recordings with added tracks
