cafe67 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 SOLD Item: JRDG Continuum S2 Intergrated amplifier Location: Perth nor Price: $7500 Ono Item Condition: 9.59/10 Reason for selling: upgrade ,adhd......oh look a squirrel Payment Method: Cash, direct deposit Extra Info: I bought this off @Tubularbells last year as part of my downsizing from multi box system to simple system, so 2 owner with Doug buying it from absolute hiend. It's sounds and looks amazing and I thought it could be an end game item, but is there ever such a thing. Anyhow I have been offered something big black and shiny (oh-err) and similar in nature from a local dealer. Alas to afford that I need to sell this. Condition is spotless as it was when I got it off Doug , no scratches markets etc. it was set up in my system where it happily drove my Dynaudio Confidence 5. It has the optional phono board fitted and from my hearing and from some other listeners the phono stage is rather good and plays well with my Ortonfon A90 cartridge. And it not just some add on , alternatively I can fit a DAC module in its place. (See below reviews for more info) Bearing in mind this one box replaced my W4S STP-Se pre, Bryston 4bsst2 and plinius M14 phono stage I do not feel short changed at all. To me the amp has a detailed but airy sound, it's definitely not leaden and sounds extra good with female vocals, but it can rock with hunker du when needed.

kylevuong19 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Very nice amp, I wish they could invest a bit more on the remote... This could be an end game for an integrated enthusiast. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychometrics1 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 It looked immaculate to me - hope the 0.01 condition drop from 9.6/10 to 9.59 wasn’t down to my breathing in the listening room - GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubularbells Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 God damn even im tempted to buy it back at this asking price. This amp easily bested everything that came before (and perhaps even after if I was brutally honest with myself). I look at my current Audio Research Ref150 and laugh at the step down in in build quality, increased price and half output power over this integrated not to mention overall cost of ownership between the two in terms of power consumption and tube replacement costs over many years. Seems logic is not my strong point.... And those complaining about the remote obviously haven't owned a Vitus RL100, Modwright LS100 or many other "hi-end" brands that have equally priced remotes. Please let it stay within the SNA community until I regain my senses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Faustus Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is a great amp... It was on my short list when I bought my main system amp... Only reason it didn't end up in my room was that I was offered another amp at a great price.Stick with it and don't sell it at a bargain price... Buyers for this gear are less common but when someone wants one they will pay you the right price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe67 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thanks for the moral support. At at this point $6000 bids via eBay are still coming in, just the postage is the sticky bid. id still prefer to sell locally tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
