If you are not familiar with this amp you owe it to yourself to Google it and read the many truly outstanding reviews which rank this amp as one of the best modern amplifiers ever made. https://parasound.com/products/a23 If you are reading this you probably know the A23+s are almost impossible to find on the used market and the newer is out of stock everywhere due to supply chain issues. Cosmetically I would rate this unit in MINT or mostly like new condition but please look carefully at all pictures and judge for yourself. The unit has been tested and is fully functional. I personally use my own Halo P6 coupled to the Parasound A23+ in my main stereo/vinyl listening system. The versatility is amazing as is the sound. I used the phono stage with my turntable, the USB and DAC for my computer streaming and one of the digital inputs for my CD player. I utilize the XLR Balanced inputs and outputs to the A23+ power amp. Its hard to imagine getting so much versatility and wonderful sound out of any other preamp. The unit is being sold with the original owners manual and the power cord and trigger original cable. No smoking environment.It will be shipped in the original Parasounds double boxes.
