Further Information

For Sale: First Watt J2 Amplifier – Exceptional Condition

 

Here’s the legendary First Watt J2, the most popular amplifier in Nelson Pass’s First Watt line. 

 

  • Purchased new: February 2022 from the Australian distributor.
  • Condition: Lightly used and in excellent condition.
  • Ownership history: I acquired it from the original owner in December 2023 (the late SMP). Since then, it has had approximately 200 hours of use, and knowing SMP’s careful usage, the total running time is estimated at 400 hours.

 

Why I’m Selling - as a valve man for the past 60 years plus, going over to solid-state wasn’t really going to happen, although the J2’s claim to fame is its valve like presentation - which it has, but without the glow and tube rolling opportunities, which I'm sadly addicted to:yes:

 

Specifications & Details

        1.      Condition: Perfect cosmetic and operational condition.

        2.      Total Use: Approx. 400 hours.

        3.      Design: Class A, Single-Ended solid-state.

        4.      Power Output: 25W into 8 ohms, 13W into 4 ohms.

        5.      Inputs: RCA (single-ended) and XLR (balanced) inputs – a unique feature of the J2.

        6.      Extras: Includes the original manual, manufacturer’s box, and packaging for safe transport.

 

 

Shipping - Freight: Additional (at buyer’s cost).

I looked for nearly a year to buy one of these before buying my brand new FW F8, they just did not come up, so anyone on the fence should pounce at this bargain price.

I have seen/ heard this amp both in my system and at our dear late friend SMP's system and can confirm the providence is as @stereonut states- it will present as new.

Oh, and with the right speakers is just incredible🫶

 

GLWTS 👌🙏
