It is factory original in every facet and works perfectly well. Note, I have ONLY used the balanced outputs so cannot speak to the single ended outputs but assume they work just fine. Amp is dead quiet and free from floor noise and sounds just delightful. IncludesAll as it came from the factory.. original Box, tubes, leaflet, power cord, box and all packaging..
