Don Sachs Valhalla Integrated Amplifier - 30 wpc of sonic tube bliss! This is Don’s latest thinking in an all in one integrated tube amp, complete with OLED display and full function remote control. I’ve used this on 97db Spatial X5 speakers and it sounds terrific, while being dead quiet sonically and mechanically. It’s thoroughly and expertly designed by a knowledgeable and very experienced tube guru. It’s also beautifully crafted in its cherry case with chrome transformers. This could be the heart of any high end system requiring 30 or so very refined tube watts.
• Classic all tube design that delivers sonic excellence, but has modern features for everyday reliability, consistency, and performance.
• Three 6SN7’s in the preamp section, two 6L6/EL34/KT66/KT77 per channel for outputs
• Includes 2 quads of output tubes - 4 Shuguang KT66, 4 Russian NOS 6P3S-E
• Includes 3 Shuguang WE 6SN7, 1 spare 6SN7 for the preamp section
• Regulated dual high voltage power supplies, as used in the bigger Kootenay 120 amp
• Epoxy potted transformers in stainless cases, same as the Kootenay, but conservatively oversized in this application
• Best in class Khozmo 64 step remote control attenuator with relay input switching, OLED display, and very solid metal handheld remote with vol +/-, mute, input select, display on/off
• Fully automatic biasing
• Switchable onboard meter with selector and test points for an external meter, if desired
• Cathode fuse on each output tube
• 3 RCA inputs, 1 XLR input with Cinemag transformers
• 4 and 8 ohm speaker taps
I bought this new from Don a little over a month ago and it has at most 50 hours total on it over the course of 2-3 weeks while breaking in the X5’s. Ships in 2 boxes, 1 for the amp, 1 for the tubes and remote. Please note this was very heavy to ship, ~$150 cross country, insured Fedex Ground.
New build time varies, but he typically quotes 8-12 weeks. This particular Valhalla is basically brand new, available immediately, and ready for you to enjoy.
SOLD New price is $4,295, selling for
$3,850. Buyer covers insured shipping from 33957 and any PayPal fees, if used.
