This New Design by Jim Fosgate,rare in tubes is a Fully balanced differential design.For less then the price of a stock model you can have a Mercedes in build and sonics. You will find Nothing even close in quality for this price. I need to offset the cost of my new monster amp.My Tube tech has over 40 years in design ,$2200 in upgrades. By modding you better this Substantially that is why Modwright does this for solid state gear. only 4 months old. $4300 invested,Asking $1850 or best Reasonable offer. I have to offset some of the expense on my New monster amplifier.Please see my excellent feedback on Audiogon under Audioman58. Cardas silver solder used Throughout. this integrated Has High QualityGerman transformers and can use El34,kt77,kt88,kt120,kt150 tubes up to 70 wpc,beautiful bias meter built in super easy bias tubes in seconds and much more accurate adjusting per tube then self bias which degrades circuit with loads of extra resistors in the circuit.The whole Audio section was replaced with over 80 of the Worlds best parts .compare original picture with white cement resistors and stock caps, also all tube sockets heavy gold plated, and every high quality power supply cap has a total of 10;Cornell Dubilier bypass filter capacitors see White long caps. This is a Great opportunity for a True Audiophile who knows excellence in quality. You would have to spend a minimum of $10k to find a amplifier with this in parts quality, please do compare, and over 20 hours in labor. I must sell to offset the cost of my New Monster amp. $ 1995OBO. Build Starting with 10 Vishay naked resistors for the outputs,36 tan color-of the very $$ Audio Note Non magnetic Tantalum resistors ,Takman Carbon film and Kiwame resistors. U.S Mills precision resistors . Coupling caps are the world class Millflex Copperfoil poly,paper oil caps,Amtrans from .Japan. 85% of all the parts are all from Japan ,and Silver mica caps Alps best Volume pot flanked with the ultra precision Vishay naked resistors, the best Neotech 0- Crystal Copper Teflon wiring, Furutech Gold Copper IEC terminal plus gold fuse.all 4 and 8 ohm Solid Copper Gold Cardas Speaker terminals Not brass, and WBT next gen terminal for the digital, excellent headphone output, 5 total outputs plus preout, and Sub, beautiful tempered glassCarbon fiber top You would have to buy a Audionote amp over $15k to best this build quality,Compare quality Anywhere !! it sounds Fantastic , I offer a money back satisfaction it is that good.i recently moved and my New 30x16 ft room with high ceilings is just too Big. I will have to buy a Big big tube amp.This is a great opportunity for someone looking for excellence,I have no choice, the Mrs wants me have only 1 audio room. compare this sonicly with any $10k +tube or SSintegrated amp.very powerfull for a med size room I was playing at 90+db levels with ease.Parts quality in design build Absolutely does matter. This balanced touch relay controlled ,soft start Jim Fosgate design is dead quiet, Thank you. P.s I will only entertain serious inquiries this is almost runin still may Need another 100+hours Audionote said 3-500 hours runin on these Resistors. Thank you.

Did I miss your price? I believe you have to post a selling price.

Hello I just bought a Big tube amp ,I have lowered my price to $1950
Or best reasonable offer . If you are still in the market it would be well worth your time to read my updated ad. This I can assure you Nothing is even remotely close
In build quality or sonics in this price range even at 2x the cost ,no company will offer
Any Audionote tantalum resistors in June over 35 .thst is what most don’t realize
Only in the esoteric brands that are $$ do you even see this . Just to let you know.
I have been into this hobby for over 40: years ,see my many excellent feedbacks
On Audiogon under audioman58.

Hello Spell check changed wording,and I didnot proof read it .Audionote Non magnetic resistors there are 35 in mine
Unless you are spelling $$ you would never see that ,prima Luna ,not even $4k unit not even close In quality ,Auto bias is BS ,as well as adaptive bias ,that loads the circuit with a lot of low cost resistors with different ohms to adapt to changes which lessens the purity
Of the signal in absolute terms ,the Black ice has a very accurate built in meter which you can monitor per tube and set in seconds exactly where it should be ,just to let you know.
Thank you for your inquiry.p.s point to point wiring not as musical or accurate then a thick Copper trace circuit board , silver solder is only 4% silver the rest tin .Copper traces night and day better conductor. Just for your knowledge. Thank you for inquiring,Paul.
