Niteshade NS-3 Special Edition

Want something special to try?   :D

$440.00 Delivered within the Lower 48

As beautiful to look at as to listen to. If this model were in the supermarket food section it would be labeled, “100% Organic”. Single ended amp lovers enjoy an organic tonality. One of the best ways to portray that quality is through the use of EL84's. Other adjectives that come to mind include: Liquid, smooth, easy to listen to and even sensual. Music flows around the listener. It's not aggressive or harsh. You will notice a control on the front. That's for a circuit I designed called Variable Negative Feedback. I made it so you can contour the amplifier to your speakers. Not too many amplifiers have such a feature. Normally people are stuck with what the amp puts out. Now you have the power to mold the amp into your system. The NS-3 produces three watts per channel of class A power that's ideal for speakers 95db sensitive and up. You will NOT find a better amplifier for horn loaded speakers. We covered the amp in Maple Autumn Metallic- eye candy for certain.  For more information on Niteshade Audio, please use a search engine. It's easy to locate.

So this beauty is 3 watts/side?  What does the chicken knob adjust?

The Chicken does volume control or gain?

Hello-

The knob is for adjusting negative feedback. It doesn't control volume. If it were a volume control, the amp would be integrated- but I opted for the feedback control instead. The good news: It can be made into an integrated amp!

Just curious, How many dB is the feedback variation min-to-max?  Do you compensate for that gain change with a second pot on the same shaft, or does the overall closed loop gain change accordingly?

The feedback goes from near zero to about -20. There are no gain adjustment pots ganged with the feedback control for compensation. The amplifier will arrive with the gain control pre-calibrated at the 12 O'Clock position for best performance.

Our NS-3 Special Edition is made for those looking for that classic, warm tube sound via El84 delivery.  I have made these in the past and received rave reviews, then decided to prototype a model with variable negative feedback a little while ago. The combination is unbeatable!


$440.00 DEILVERED  :D

Ideal for efficient speakers in the 95db and up range. That includes horns, many single driver systems and such. To insure a perfect fit in your system, variable negative feedback was installed.

This is a fun to use amplifier! It's gentle on the tubes, produces so little heat it's not worth mentioning and does carry a vintage El84 tone signature: Smooth, organic, flowing, not in your face. It's an amplifier to relax with.  If you're into vocals, the midrange is impeccable! Lows and highs are smooth as silk.

I can guarantee there is no better amp for classic single ended EL84 tone- straight from the 50's and 60's.

If you would like a bigger rendition- that can be done as well. We have a 40lb transformer package that's used with the NS-10.  :drool: 
Instead of using a single El84, they can be paralleled. Sound quality is not sacrificed and the wattage is increased.

Niteshade audio is your custom design headquarters.

I'd put it on sale, but then it would be almost free.  :D

Low cost, virtually NO heat output, pure vintage El84 sound. 

$440.00 delivered to the Lower 48!  :drool:


HAPPY EASTER!

hello

this does not have to do with your sale but was wondering if you could build a integrated amp that would be 100 watts per channel into 8ohm's  and costs under or about $2000.00?

thanks

There are several upgrades available for the NS-3.

Please call or email for information.

The NS-3 is the IDEAL amplifier for horn loaded speaker systems.

If you would like a basic single ended amplifier good for horns & high efficiency speakers- let me know. Low watt single ended deigns are a specialty of mine.
