This is the 1.5 version version with the RECORD output, subwoofer output, TAPE LOOP, and the TRIODE/ULTRA-LINEAR switches. This was new dealer demo purchased from a dealer approximately 5 years ago. It has never been modified and I am the original owner. It includes the original box and manual. It was completely re-tubed two years ago with new JJ power tubes and NOS input/driver tubes. There are no notable scratches or dents on this unit, it has been sitting on the same shelf for it's whole life span
It works extremely well and sounds fantastic.
Here's a listing of the features: Separate left and right silver-contact select switches (for the four stereo line inputs) deliver your music into the premium Noble balance and volume controls before hitting the first 12AT7 input tubes. The advantages of a passive preamp driving an extremely short and low capacitance two inches of cable are well known: near-absolute transparency, no added noise, and extreme signal path simplicity. This is the perfect place to implement a passive preamp as it were.
Following the mighty 6414 driver/phase splitter, the trusty EL84 output stage can be switched between either around 20 watts of TRIODE or 40 watts of Ultra Linear mode push-pull operation. Individual bias for each tube is easily adjusted using the trimpots and test points, conveniently located on the top surface of the amplifier. The Stingray's power supply is extra-rugged and stiff, a MANLEY hallmark. It swims with the sharks: fast, agile, fluid, and with consummate authority.
Select between 20 watts of seductive and ethereal TRIODE mode or 40 watts more powerful Ultra Linear output tube operation.
Subwoofer OUT a line level output that is AFTER the volume control so your powered subwoofer follows the same volume as your main speakers.
