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. Cryo Pure Copper wire, DH Labs 12 ga Pure Copper wire, HMS Pure Copper wire* New Output Transistors Marched* Pre Drivers matched on each driver board* FRED IXYS Bridge Rectifiers* 4 GE 50000uf/50 volt GE Main Power Caps* 8 Gold Connectors to Fuse Holders* Current Limiter* Transformer Pad* Furutech Copper RCAs* Cardas Pure Copper Binding Posts* Furutech Gold Plated IEC w/14 ga Solid Silver wire* Polished Plates on Main Caps* Power Switch The Mod was performed in 2008 by expert audio tech Randy Young. I gave him Carte Blanche to do all possible upgrades for the best possible sound, and it sounds great with virtually no congestion and a touch of warmth which many class A amps lack. Includes a new Box, Manual, 2 spare FETs and will be well packed. You can purchase with confidence!
