Purifi ‘EIGENTAKT’ amplifier for sale. It was built by myself in November, and features two 1ET400A modules, the EVAL1 input board, and the Hypex SMPS1200A400 power supply. The chassis is designed expressly for the Purifi by Ghent Audio.

Please note that the Neutrik SpeakON speaker outputs have *not* been wired up, as I preferred to use the onboard banana sockets (shorter signal path, and directly connected to the pcb). They’re easily wired up if you prefer to use those connectors however, and there’s plenty of information available over at the ASR DIY thread for this amplifier:

This is a state of the art amplifier, up there with the best, with only the Benchmark AHB2 currently bettering its measurements:

https://purifi-audio.com/eigentakt/eval1/

The costing for this complete ‘kit’ in November 2020 was:

Purifi Eigentakt amplifier = DKK 6272.25 / £794.16.
Hypex SMPS1200A400 PSU = €228.80 / £215.18.
Ghent chassis and wiring harness = $250 / £201.40
Mark Grant XLR L4E6S star quad balanced stereo cables = £52.
Total = £1263.

Will sell for £950 with (appropriately socially-distanced) collection from Basingstoke, or will courier at cost within the UK only. Sorry no overseas sales due to health issues and wanting to keep this as simple as possible.

Cheers,

John.

You nearly had an offer. I was contemplating a trip up the M3
(but of course I would never do that in these times....)

It's back up for sale. Had a momentary doubt about it, but frankly I need the money. So it's available if you're still interested @ £920.

Thanks for that. I'm thinking about it as obviously it's quite a leap.
I already run an Anthem AVR500 through an XTZ Edge 300 so know what Class D can bring. Obviously I would like to think the Purifi takes it to a whole new level but also know it's the law of diminishing returns at this point. Still, that's why we're all here!
