Asking $1500 , which includes two full sets of tubes, original factory double boxes, two new Hifi Tuning Silver star fuses for each amp, the two power meters for easy biasing, and two generic power cords.
Willing to split shipping at my asking price. There will be a total of four boxes shipped.
Beautiful looking and sounding AES (a Cary Audio Design subsidiary) pair of SixPac monoblock tube amplifiers.
These were personally designed by the legendary founder of Cary, Dennis Had. You can check out “www.sixpacs.com” for Dennis Had’s personal musings on these beauties. They held a special place in his heart,, and this design actually forced him to do upgrades to some of his much more expensive Cary offerings, because they offer so much bang for your buck.
60 watts of triode power in a point-to-point hand soldered design.
This pair comes with a full dozen of matched very low hours Mullard reissue EL34s, as well as a full dozen matched Ruby EL34s for backups.
Also, an excellent vintage pair of 12BZ7 (better sounding alternative to 12AX7 signal tubes) and a pair of Tungsgram EL84s.
I had all tubes tested and had caps and voltage levels fully checked by my tube tech here in Tucson, just a couple months ago. He also gave me two sweet looking power meters for adjusting tube bias easily for both amps.
I have all original packaging for amps and all tubes, so shipping will not be a problem.
These easily drove my power hungry Vandersteens. Beautiful liquid EL 34 midrange, wonderful tonal colors, and excellent bass. And they just have wonderful ballsy dynamics with the 60 watts of triode tubes.
Only reason for selling is I inherited some custom modified Meitner monoblocks worth several times more that pair exceptionally well with my preamp.
I will split shipping if in lower 48 states, and will ship amps and tubes in 4 separate boxes for extra safe delivery.
Thanks for looking and happy holidays.
