I have a Lavardin IT amp for sale.

http://www.lavardin.com/lavardin-itE.html

Pretty legendary solid state integrated amplifier.

RRP is above €6,200 ... and I'm looking for €2,900.

It's in absolutely perfect condition, not a mark and very rarely used as I have been working from the UK in recent years.

I have a few quotes from reviews and links below.

Amp can be collected from Sandymount, Dublin 4.

Thanks for looking!
Stereo Times:
The Lavardin IT integrated amplifier produces the least artistic distortion of any amplifier I’ve ever heard in the 36 years I’ve been involved with audio. It offers unparalleled understanding and insight into every kind of music, regardless of that music’s ultimate merit. It completely eliminates any barriers to the musical message caused by the amplification process, opening the listener to the true quality of the music. The music simply appears, naked and direct. The IT is a rare and exceptional achievement.

Positive Feedback:
... this amp is fantastic. It's built to last, looks at home in most any decor or system and has that cunning ability to disappear. Audiophiles are a funny bunch at times: "I want only the music to come through!" Ok, so here it is: the Lavardin IT in other words: wire with gain? About as close to it as I've heard in my system. That's it. Genius, simply genius, well done Jean-Christophe!

Is there a phono stage on this amp? Any pics of the actual amp?

I don't think there's a phono. I'll pop open the box again and check.

Here's a few pictures -- Amp is literally perfect, not a mark that I can spot.
