Hesitantly selling my pair of the late Paul G's Tube Audio Design 1000 Monoblocks. I am the original owner and have taken very good care of these amps. There are no major cosmetic defects. A couple of the decals listing tube types, etc. have faded, but most are fully intact.
Asking $1300 OBO
Here are the specs:
100-watts RMS into 8-Ohms, volume levels exceed 250w solid state amps
Super wide band: Plays flat 10Hz-25kHz,-3db@70kHz
Huge Z-11 steel (best grade) output transformers reproduce sharp fast square waves
Hand point to point wired
Exclusive Invisa-Cap Mylar coupling caps for perfect sound
Huge choke regulated power supply
Heavy black metal face, blue light, brushed silver chassis
Dimensions: 20” deep, 11.5” wide, 7.5” high
Weight: 45 pounds each
Pure Austenitic (non-magnetic grade) Stainless steel chassis
RCA input with level control
100k input impedance
Input sensitivity: Standard 2V audio input for full power
4 & 8-Ohm speaker gold binding posts
Variable feedback stepped attenuator Focus control
Triode/UL mode output stage selector switches
Amps come with:
1. Custom made acrylic dust covers for the tube portion (see pictures).
2. Stainless Steel Tube Cages (unused) that came with the amps
3. Full set of tubes, including the EH EL34' and almost new (maybe 30 hours) quartet of JJ Electronics 6V6 S Tubes
4. Original voltage meter provided by Paul to bias tubes
5. Full octet of EH KT88s with, at most, 100 hours on them
The amps sound great with both the EL34s and the KT88s; they react well to tube rolling and I think the KT77's will be a wonderful tube for these amps. .
