I am selling my Sophia Electric Baby Integrated Amplifier. The amplifier is in excellent physical and operational condition. Brand new they retail for $899.99. I am selling due to the purchase of a new amplifier (Cary Audio V12R). The Baby is a 10 watt amplifier using Russian 6P1T output tubes.
I purchased the Baby about 6 months ago, but decided that I needed more wattage as I listen to a lot of rock, synth, and industrial music. The Baby performed very well and VERY quiet with my Von Schweikert dB99-SE speakers. I just wanted more headroom. Hence the 50 watt Cary.
I have the original box, but I cannot find the owner's manual. I keep all the associated items meticulously so I am apt to believe I never received an owner's manual with the Baby. The tubes are numbered / labeled. There is one input, a volume control, and an on / off switch. It's not rocket science.
I accept payment via money order, cashier's check, or Paypal (add 3% please). FedEx Ground shipping within the US and full coverage insurance ($425.00) is included in the asking price.
Per the Sophia Electric website:
1. Wide frequency range from 6 Hz to 80,000 Hz +/-3dB.
2. Impressive -95dB Signal/Noise (S/N) ratio. Which made it possible to drive 112 dB horn speakers without noise. This would translate into dead quiet performance on any speakers you use.
3. Big sound was achieved when there is high definition of music information.
4. Realistic, live performance like, male and female voice. Great for jazz, rack, vocal, and opera.
5. Wide dynamic range makes it also suitable for wide range of music.
6. Have more power and drive capability than a typical 300B single ended amp (8 watts) or a 40-50 watts solid-state amp. Should work with speakers above 89 dB efficiency and 8 ohm impedance.
