Price: 650.00 plus shipping.I am only selling this wonderful amp to finance repair of another piece of gear..most unfortunate!!! Let me say first that the advantage of new RCA and speaker binding posts is huge. Makes swapping gear and cables a lot easier!!.
The amp if fully rebuilt with audiophile components although the original Pilot circuit is kept. Chassis is shiny and transformers are in excellent condition.
1. 5-way speaker gold plated binding posts
2. Cardas gold-plated RCA inputs
3. IEC power connector and new fuse
4. On-off switch
5. Ground lift switch
6. Hovland Musicap coupling caps in the driver stage
7.Multicap RTX 10-section polystyrene and tin foil coupling caps with the output stage
8. Hovland Musicap in the power supply
9. Cardas wiring on the input
This SA-232 is quiet on my efficient 97dB speakers. Residual hum is measured at 700microvolts even though filaments are AC heated."
Amp is cathode-bias and requires no adjustments
Tubes included: Upscale Audio matched Russian EL84/7189's quad which may well be the best tubes for this amp and are priced so reasonably it isn't funny. ($15ea) Will come with brand new Chinese rectifier (GZ34), 2 Ruby 12ax7's and a nice RCA clear top. I will leave the el84's in there especially considering that they are matched using at least 3 parameters.
