I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and this limited edition Cavalli Audio Liquid Gold Headphone Amplifier is being listed as a consignment sale on behalf of my client. It is in very good condition with some wear on the top of the chassis, but otherwise looks excellent. It is of course in excellent working order.

The amplifier comes with power cable and will ship in its original packaging.

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

More about the unit:
Designed by consulting physicist and engineer Alex Cavalli, the Liquid Gold represents his most sophisticated headphone amplifier design—a statement-class, fully differential, balanced-output solid-state amplifier that distinguishes itself through true differential topology where each channel operates as an independent differential amplifier with its own rail regulators, fundamentally different from bridged designs. Manufactured in Austin, Texas using only the highest quality components, the Liquid Gold features pure Class A operation for the first 2.25 watts ensuring extremely clear low-level detail, while a high-current power supply with 35,000 microfarads of capacitance delivers effortless dynamics. The amplifier outputs an impressive 9 watts per channel into 50 ohms—immense power by headphone standards—yet remains delicate and refined rather than muscle-bound. Built in small production runs of approximately 30 units, the Liquid Gold earned recognition as one of the most sought-after amplifiers in personal audio.

The unit provides three analog inputs (one single-ended RCA that converts to balanced, plus two balanced XLR) and four outputs (two single-ended via TRS jacks and two balanced via 4-pin and 3-pin XLR), with switch-selectable gain settings to accommodate headphones ranging from 25 to 600 ohms. The first impression is tapping into greatly expanded reservoirs of musical information, with timbres, textures, and transients becoming vivid, pure, and articulate in ways that prompt listeners to discover details in recordings they thought they knew intimately. The Liquid Gold has no specific sound signature—neither warm nor cold, neither analytical nor euphonic—instead offering transparency on an entirely different level with the speed to handle wide load variances without adding coloration. This honest-to-a-fault character takes cues directly from the music, with blinding transient speed and seemingly bottomless dynamic headroom that proved so successful driving demanding planar magnetics that Abyss specifically recommends the pairing. Words like genius and masterpiece appear frequently in reviews, with critics noting that extended listening sessions make other amplifiers seem inadequate by comparison.
