Sold FS: Denon DCA-660BL *Ultra Rare Amp*

[mr Tibbs 10+ year member]

Well, well, well, where to start with this one??! Up for sale I have an ultra rare Denon DCA-660BL. What makes this so rare you ask? Well for starters this was never available for retail purchase here in the US. Next it has balanced (as well as unbalanced) inputs. This amp was designed to be used with the Denon headunits that had balanced outputs (aka the Z1!!), it has many of the same high grade components in it as the high end headunits that Denon is known to produce. I also feel it is wayyyyyy under rated. It has three 30 amp external fuses on it yet it is only rated to do 120 x 2ch @4 ohms??!! It is 1 ohm stable though.

Here is a run down of the specs:

Here are the piuctures:

Now for the pricing of this rare unit. To be honest since it is so rare here in the states I am having a little bit of a hard time pricing this. I can only find a few that have been sold here in the last few years so that makes it difficult. As you can see from the pictures it is in great shape (especially for it's age). I would say a solid 9 out of 10 in the cosmetics department. There are a few scratches but nothing major at all. So, let's start off with pricing at $450 plus shipping or best offer and go from there. I think for a piece of equipment that is this rare and in this condition that is a fair starting point. If you think it is high (or low by some miracle) just let me know and we will see what we can work out.

As always questions are welcome and I'll do my best to answer. Also, high resolution pictures are available upon request. Thanks for looking guys and let me know what you think!

Yep, sounds about right. The specs say that it's 1 ohm stable, STEREO!! 3x30 amp fuses, this thing should be a beast!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Ive stopped by a few times to admire it. I think its a steal at that price. unfortunately Ihave too many amps sitting around right now to collect another.

I would love to snatch that up, but have no need right now.

Good luck with the sale.

May want to try another forum with more of a audiophile base.
