This is a 40 wpc integrated tube amplifier that we brought in for evaluation. Uses 2 EL34 power tubes per side.

This piece is not the same as some of the others found throughout the internet. Even though it look similar, this piece is one of the higher grade units with the latest Polished Stainless steel chassis, better internal component quality, stepped volume attenuator, gold plated RCA input jacks (4 inputs), Tube cage included.

Others have compared this amplifier to other well known manufacturers units of the same design but two to three times the price and prefered the this piece not only for a better value but also because "it just sounds better". You can pair this amplifier with speakers ranging from 85dB-104dB and it will have no problem driving them.

This version is being sold elsewhere for $2,500 - $3,000. ($2,800 to be exact)
Our regular selling price on these units will be $1,550
On this evaluation piece the price is ONLY $1,125 to Circle members (or friends of a member)
This amp does noteven have 20 hours of use at this time and is in absolute perfect condition.

Please be advised that this particular amp is recommended for experienced tube amp owners only as the biasing is done internally and there is no manual for this piece. Yes, there wil be a warranty offered with this unit. 6 months parts and labor through Response Audio.

To move this amp, I am reducing the price $725 for circle members.

  I have far too many amps on the bench for mod work at this moment with 27 more pieces coming in next month and desperately need more room. Selling at this price, there would not be a warranty available but I', sure anybody interested would have the knowlede of working on a tube amp anyway.

  I tis also a tweakers dream. Add you favorite capacitors, resistors, diodes, etc. and you will have an amazing sounding EL34 amplifier.

AGAIN: Please be advised that this particular amp is recommended for experienced tube amp owners only as the biasing is done internally and there is no manual for this piece.
