The Forte amp has been upgraded by Jon Soderberg to turn it into a pure class A amp at 50watts/channel After upgrade: The Black Gate caps are visible on the output boards. Also installed were new PS caps, soft recovery diodes and the amp converted from 200 wpc Class A/B to 50 wpc Class A, via rebiasing and dropping the rail voltage from 76V to 39V. In this configuration the IGBTs operate at only 50% capacity vs. nearly 100% in the Model 6 A/B configuration. How do it sound? Fantastic. If anything, it sounds punchier than before the upgrade/conversion.

### The Audio Board: www.theAudioBoard.com - The Search Tool for Used High-End Audio Equipment### MOVING SALE: A pending move in the summer forces to liquate my stuff before that. For sale is a vintage, a highly acclaimed Forte Audio Model 1A Stereo Power Amplifier From what I read, Forte Audio is a brand by Threshold Audio. I personally tested this amp, and found it worked great. Both channels produced good full music. This amp is built like a tank. Very reliable. The power reserve is huge. It continues play for an extended time after powering down. Of course, the amp produces very musical yet solid music. The amp appears to be all original; no mods. Physical condition is fine for the age, with typical wear and scratches. Some scratches are a bit deep. One screw on the front is missing. Ill pack well and ship worldwide.
