Swick Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Hi all, Up for sale is my treasured Viva Egoista 845 headphone amplifier. Don't think one of these have ever been sold on Stereonet before. This is generally considered one of the best and most powerful headphone amplifiers in existence. As Steve Gutterberg said in his review article "I think of the Egoista 845 as the 812 Superfast of headphone amps." This 30kg beast, which is in perfect condition packs 15 watts from 6 tubes 1 x 6N1P, 1x 6SN7GTB, 2 x 845, 2 x EH5U4GB. The beautiful amp is coated in automotive paint from Porsche. It is handmade with point to point wiring. This used to be sold for 20,000 AUD from Addicted to Audio (which is where this was bought from). But now it's even more expensive to get Viva products into Australia since they no longer sell them in this country. I'm parting ways with this treasured amplifier simply because I have no time to listen to my high end audio with my 2 kids (infant and a toddler). I have never heard my power hungry abyss 1266 phi headphone sound better. I have also used this with my focal utopia and senheisser hd800 to excellent results. This is will be packed safely in its original wooden crate, and will consider interstate sales. I also have extra tubes that I will include in the sale as well, including a PSVANE 845 WE tube which alone cost 1000 AUD a pair. Have had good experiences with couriers like PackSend on Stereonet.

Ehrmantraut Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 This is truly the Ferrari of HP amps - spectacular!
Replicant2049 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 If only I had a spare $12.5K laying around and it was a little more subtle to avoid wife attention - my Susvara and Abyss would love this thing.

Swick Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 Definitely agree with the crazy holographic staging
