For sale: Cyrus Brenneman Stereo 30 (15W/channel) EL84 P/P integrated amp in terrific shape. Electra-Print transformers used throughout. Brenneman amps are not too well known, but they have bested some mighty pricey amps in my rig.
Condition 8/10, no visible blemishes or marks.
Asking: SOLD (PayPal and shipping included) to CONUS – making this simple for the buyer. Will ship to Canada, but added shipping costs will be borne by buyer.
Amp sounds full and neutral, an unheralded gem in the audio world. Brenneman amps have been used exclusively to demonstrate Bruce Edgar’s Edgarhorn horn speakers at many audio shows to wonderful effect. I went to Bruce’s digs once and he told me he used the Brenneman amps because they were the most neutral/lowest distortion tube amps he could find.
PM me with any questions or if interested.

http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/vsac03/vsac_8.html Uses the following tubes:
1. (2) ECF82/6U8A: input tubes
2. (1) EL84/7189A: driver tubes
3. (1) 5V4/5AR4: tube rectifier
Comes with the following tubes:
1. (4) Genalex N709/EL84 reissues: matched quad, bought here on AC
2. (4) Electro-Harmonix EL84 quad: backup to the Genalex’s
3. (4) Russian EL84 (I think) tubes: marked 6P14P-EB. Backup to the E-Hs. Name on box “P-A-Russian A-Backwards N-O”. I believe these were also matched because the boxes are marked 1-4, but I can’t verify that (tubes came with the amp – I am either the 2nd or third owner). Tubes also say ‘AGUNG’ on the box – I have no idea what that means.
4. (2) Siemanns ECF82: input tubes (primarily used these as input tubes)
5. (1) JJ Electronic ECC82: backup input tube (in a pinch)
6. (1) GE 5V4GA: tube rectifier
7. (1) Sovtek 5AR4: tube rectifier (backup)
8. (1) JJ Electronic GZ34: tube rectifier
