ZED Minotaur II - Back from Stephen Mantz

Product Brand & Model:
ZED Minotaur II


Condition of all items:
Recently got it back from Stephen Mantz who replaced a voltage sensor circuit. Tested in my vehicle briefly to be working as it should. Prior to this, it would turn off/on really fast at any appreciable volume/gain level.

Total Price: :
$350. This is a $800 amplifier (new). It has been given a clean bill of health by Steve Mantz but given my bad karma with ZED amps (see my build log), I'm selling to see it gone.

Special Terms of Sale:
If you read the latter parts of my build log, you will see my frustrating experience with my ZED Leviathan and briefly this Minotaur. This Minotaur was sent back to Steve at ZED and repaired. As far as my testing has suggested, the amp is working like it should so much so that I am comfortable selling it. That said, I cannot be responsible for what you do with it, the quality of your installation, or Steve Mantz's repair. Thus, I will not accept PayPal (unless it's PayPal gift because of their ridiculous 45/180 claim policy), I offer no return or exchange option, and there is no warranty expressed or implied. I will be testing it one more time before sending it to you but you are buying an amp that has essentially been refurbished and if it for some reason does not work for you, you will be responsible for sending it to ZED for repair, paying any associated costs to do so, and subsequently enjoying a great amp. Steve repaired it and tested it, so I'm sure it's fine but, again, no guarantee. I do not want to hear from you on this forum or privately if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, that is the risk you took buying a very expensive amp at a largely discounted price. Again, Steve Mantz repaired it, but I am not vouching for any repair ever by anyone ever personally.

So again, let me be clear. If you get this amp, you plug it in, and it doesn't work and then you come on this forum bashing me, I will point everyone to this listing and they will see that you agreed you were buying a refurbished amp that had to guarantees associated with it. Are we clear? :confused:


Shipping Terms: :
Covered on CONTUS. No international. HI or AK... PM me.

You will see a chip in the plexi. You will see marks on the cooling fins. Nothing is missing. One or two adjustment knobs has "obviously been used" especially the gain pot.


Additional info:
See special terms above.

Original box and packaging included. I ship UPS Ground for free to CONTUS. If you want any other service, PM me for price. I'll pay up to $25 of any other service you prefer.

I'm quoting you so no one can say you went back and edited your post after they bought it saying it was essentially a refurb.

You seem honest to me in person. I'd vouch for you.
I appreciate that you'd vouch for me but I have no need to go back an edit my post. I explained clearly in it what the deal is with this amp. I even included a photo of the actual receipt that was included in the box after being repaired by Stephen Mantz himself at ZED Audio in California.
Exactly. AND I know you wouldn't edit your post so I quoted it proving the same should some shady buyer come along and make claims of "tampering" by you.
