Up for sale is a special tube power amp that was built for me back in 2014 by Carver with my name on the power transformer. It is a great sweet amp. The amp started its life from an Ami Rowe Jukebox back in the days. I was told that the power transformer on this is the exact same as those found in the Marantz 5. It is currently has the KT88 Shuguang Treasures 50 years Anniversary version on it (500 hours of use) & 2 x GE 12AX7 tubes. I hardly use them in the past 3-4 years as my current speakers aren't efficient enough. I would say 88db @ 8 ohms & up will be best. It can accept output tubes from EL34, 6L6, 6550, KT66, KT77, KT88, KT90, KT120, KT150. With KT88 it output about 50 watts/ch with KT88, I would assume you get more power with KT150. I hate to let this go but it has been sitting & collecting dust. For serious buyer, I can send some videos & additional pictures upon request. My asking price includes shipping & paypal fee within the lower 48 States ONLY.

USD $2500.00

With all the new folks joining the site I just wanted to say that I’ve not met a better guy in the audio world than AlTran. I don’t know anything about the amp but the seller knows his stuff, he’s willing to share his knowledge, and he’s got some serious audio equipment.  Buy with confidence.

Thanks Brett.
I have another unit from Bob. It is a Packard Bell, 4x EL84 pushpull 20 watts/ch. Maybe I would sell it too...

I don't really have to sell any of these since they are sitting in my garage for so long now that I feel someone should give it a try, I've had tube amps from from 3/4 watt all the way to 160 watts per ch. Now I'm down to just this one and the little Baby Cherry. I was thinking one of these days when I get older & want to get back into some horns speakers then maybe I would set them up again. As many of you know I use Odyssey Audio in my main system for now.

Flashing few pics.

I understand this amp is not for everyone. But if you have the right speakers that is sensitive enough, you are in for a treat. Please feel free to PM with your offer.
