Gorgeous Cary V12R vacuum tube amplifier for sale. This is the latest V12R, not the earlier V12 or V12i. Works perfectly and is mint condition. Asking only $1,950!  At that price the amp is a bargain and it comes with an extra set of power tubes that are used, but still work.  Includes upgraded Psvane EL-84-T Current Source tubes.  I'm looking at some new stuff and need to sell this to make room. This amp is HEAVY so shipping will be expensive - est. $100.00 to CONUS.  I'm in Houston and would like to sell locally.  I am also willing to meet half way if you are in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, etc.

100 watts per channel Class A/B Ultra-linear mode, 50 watts per channel Class A Triode mode, stereo power amplifier with EL34 output tubes.

Here is a review for the original V12. I'm selling the "R" version, which is the latest version and is much improved: http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/601cary/index.html.

Please see the Cary website for specs.

No, the bad tube only can be replaced.  I'm sure there are some purists who would say you should replace the opposite tube with a matching tube. You would want to rebias the amp after replacing a tube.  This is a very simple procedure on the Cary.

Thanks for asking.
