FORTE MODEL 1A - Power Amp (Class A @ 50 w/ch - Fully Modded Nelson Pass Design). Up for sale is my wonderful Forte model 1A power amp rated at 50 w/ch operating in full class A power. Sonically, there isnt another one like it. Even though the stock Forte 1A was a great Nelson Pass design, sonically this unit is head and shoulders above any other Forte 1A out there due to it being fully modded and upgraded, and it works flawlessly. As you can see from the pics it is in great cosmetic condition. All the new parts and components are matched where applicable. Heres the list: * All upgraded boutique capacitors* Mills .47 ohm/3w power resistors* PRP audio resistors @ 1%* Silver Mica capacitors* 5K ohm Bourns Pots* Silver Neotech input wire, Pure Copper Neotech wire, Pure Copper Aura wire, 12 ga.
