IE and Chrome on WindowsXP are now unsupported. Please use FireFox on WindowsXP to continue browsing diyAudio.We have some good news and bad news.The good news is this server now serves its web pages over a secure connection using modern encryption protocols.The bad news? Your operating system (WindowsXP) is now out of date and cannot properly handle modern secure connections. In fact, and that number is dropping every day. Unfortunately it's very difficult to maintain modern security practises while also having backwards compatibility with WindowsXP.

OverviewThis is the Series II version of the ever popular S/500. As with the S/500, you are getting 250W per channel with a sound quality that is hard to match or even beat at the under $3,000 price range. This is an amp that is not just powerful but brings refinement along with it. It sounds fast, more “efficient” with a smooth power delivery. Sometimes, with other amps, you get all this power at a compromise – distortion.

But not so with the S/500 Series II. This amp was previously overhauled with all new CAPS, transistors and resistors. The previous owner couldn’t find the paperwork but we can confirm that the caps that were replaced, were the higher capacity Nippon Chemicon 68,000 micro Farad caps. The original ones were only 30,00o micro Farad caps. We do have the paperwork for the optical bias upgrade that was done. So this living legend will continue to soldier on for another 15 or more years.Cosmetically,the look looks really good.
Minor scuff marks here and there. The right rack handle has a small “scrape” under it which you can see from the pictures. All heatsinks are straight with just minor scuff marks. No dings or dents. We don’t have the original box but will securely pack this monster for safe shipping. Original manual included.
