Default Black Boulder amp

One guy is offering me a 1060 Boulder amp for a nice price. He has sent me a photo. That amp is black! I've never seen a black Boulder amp on a photo, official site, or somewhere else.

Please tell me - is it a genuine Boulder?

Relax.

Here's a black 500 that stereophile reviewed back in 2008. If you have reservations, call HQ Monday -- get the serial number if you can.

I'm sure if they offered a black version, there was a significant up charge.



Best Sir,

Bob

I like it. Boulder is the one brand that makes me look around from accuphase.

Hahaha thanks Bob!!

Telepathic,

Looks like a boulder. The question you will have is whether that's a factory black or a modded black.
