Finalé Audio FFX-666 Power Amp, Made In Canada
**Upgraded with Potted Hashimoto/Sansui Output Transformers**
This is an autobiased Class AB Ultralinear push-pull power amp, operating in Class A for the first 20W. The original owner used it for a very short time and decided to go for a triode power amp, and this amp came back to me in trade. This amplifier is a capable, punchy performer possessing a beautiful, classic tube sound, and the footprint of a large magazine. It has the classic styling of a Dynaco ST-120, with the more modern sound of the KT66. The front inputs allow for an ultra-short signal path. Really the Hashimoto OPT's make this a special amp, they are worth close to $800 on their own.
From the Build List:
- Upgraded Hashimoto 25W POTTED Output Transformers (not the entry level 25W Classic, but the potted high-end version of it)
- Triode Lab Power Transformers and Choke (Made in Canada by Hammond Mfg)
- Mundorf Supreme Caps x 4, Silver in Oil Caps x 2 (bottom side of the driver pc board)
