I own a Classe Audio DR-9 and it has buzzing sound. I bought this from a friend of mine and it seems that he’d changed the transistors with the inappropriate ones. I need to change those transistors with the proper ones yet, I don’t know the types. Can someone tell me what is the original type of transistors used?

Item: Silver Classe Fifteen Power Amp Location: Footscray, Melbourne Price: $1250 Item Condition: Good, has a scratch on one front handle Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Prefer pickup, it's a big, heavy unit. Just had it recapped at CVE electronics, brought them back and plugged them in to make sure everything sounded fine and then have not used them at all, my new amp got plugged straight back in Apologies for the yellow tinge to the pics. Pictures: There have been quite a few people asking for the cost of sending the amp out of Melbourne. I do not have a box for it and it is quite a heavy amp. That being said I am happy to drop it off at a pack and send or similar if the buyer wants to organise and pay for that. Dimensions: 17.25" (431.25mm) W by 7.25" (181.25mm) H by 19" (475mm) D. Shipping weight: 60 lbs (27kg).

Almost 3 years ago now I wrote my first 'real' review for SNA. https://www.stereo.net.au/reviews/classe-sigma-2200i-integrated-amplifier And I liked the amp that Marc sent me to review. I liked it a lot. So much in fact that when the opportunity came up to buy one for a 'measly' $3500, I took it. That ebay transaction fell through and my money was refunded, which disappointed me no end , so I was forced to soldier on. With the news that Classe was closing down I was hit hard, no more Classe meant that when I was ready for it there might not be a Sigma 2200i ready for me. Then came the news that Classe was being bought, followed by the news that the Sigma range was probably not going to be continued, which made me happy initially but then just as sad. It looked like there would be no Sigma 2200i for me. So I was pretty damn happy when one popped up on SNA for the same price I was willing to pay via ebay. After all, this is the integrated amp that sits at number one on my list of favourite all time amplifiers. So, to celebrate my acquiring of what is highly likely to be my end game integrated amp * I've decided to release the scores I awarded it in my initial review. I didn't put them in to the initial write up as that sort of thing is just not done in official reviews. But, just because the scores I give to each and every amp I review may never see the light of day in any official capacity doesn't mean I don't evaluate and award them in the first place. They just stay on my sheet of notes. However now that I'm an owner it's less official and more personal, so those numbers are about to be set free. I'm going to see if I can copy the original review and then add in the numbers in the next post. Hope this works. * Yeah I know, I didn't think it would ever happen either.

Item: Classe Sigma 2200i Integrated 200w Amplifier/Dac/HDMI RRP $7500.00 Location: Perth Price: $3500.00 Item Condition: 8/10 Ex Demo Reason for selling: Keeping my 50w Class A Integrated as I am unable to keep both. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought the Classe Sigma in March from West Coast hifi for $3500.00 on sale as an ex Demo whilst my Gold Note Integrated was in the shop being repaired. This is an outstanding performer with 200w at 8 ohm. Ity has bass management for your subwoofer and also has a comprehensive 6 way EQ function. Both Bass management and EQ can be adjusted to any HZ. I have shown photos of the settings I currently have set up with my Morel DIY 3 way bookshelves. I believe the adjustment is up to +3db. This is a fun Integrated if you like to fiddle a bit, if not just keep the settings set as factory settings. It has a built in Dac as well as HDMI inputs for 2.1 movies watching. It has a very user friendly app to control things like volume-bass-treble-filter-source-configuration. There is a great 15 min instructional video on Youtube for those interested. It does not come with a remote control but app replaces the remote, nor does it come with a CLasse Sigma 2200i box as West Coast supplied it in a Classe AMP2 box. I am asking $3500.00 for the Integrated as this is what I paid only a couple of months ago and am passing on the savings to someone else. Their are a couple of surface scratches on the casing which is pretty much standard fair when purchasing ex demo hifi goods from hifi outlets as such massive discounts. No marks on the facia though. More than happy to demo to Perth locals and can ship for roughly $50 insured. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

I have expected a while for something to come. after all classe has a long heritage of this and with their last ssp800 well and truly passed but was a good piece... now in safe hands of sound united who cares for the brand and B&W as well with denon / marantz ability to turn out top end av processors i hope this helps their cause. read recently care off felty on avforums that, "Dave Nauber from Classé has confirmed a new AV processor and multichannel amp is ‘coming soon’, c/o a review of the Delta pre/mono amps in the latest issue of HFN." some will know Dave as he for years has helped classe/B&W community and doesnt tell porkies.... so though this is 3rd hand and dont have access to that review, but see no reason to not beleive what it said... can only imagine they have held back a flagship type av processor with likes of hdmi 2.1 in a complete mess. i do hope given denon and marantz track record with likes of DTS-X pro and such that they do decent justce with this av pre pro including not only processing but also things like eq and such which were bare bones basic in earlier gen classe product. I do expect pricing of these will be astronomic as was previous classe product... sound united now has a local office and taken over local distribution... so hopefully they bear some consideration to things like price .... that it is not totally outrageous ... anyways leaving this thread here incase more news and info comes to hand in due course ...
