Making room for a set of new mono blocks, it's time to part with a spectacular piece. I am the original owner (purchased Dec 2018 from Upscale) and there is not a scratch on this and performs flawlessly. Absolutely perfect with remote (triode vs. Ultralinear) and tube cover.
Producing 36W in Ultralinear and 20W in triode on the EL34's (more than enough to drive my GR Research NX-Studio's). I thought it was a gimmick at first, but being able to switch modes on the fly is a great feature depending on mood and musical selection. The triode mode softens the top and bottom but brings holography to the midrange and is my preferred mode for the somber tones of Cohen or Nick Cave. All the details on the unit can be found at the link below.

Matched Quad of Grade A Sophia Electric KT88's (~400 hours) No more real power over the EL34 but a bigger presence and greater layer separation

Excellent, long lived 12AU7 types with sonics similar to the much more expensive and rare Telefunken ECC802S goldpin! More info on the Siemens Ni Plates at

Price for the complete package, (original packaging for all components) $3500. Local pickup / meetup (150 miles of 04101) preferred else shipping additional. If you're in the area and want to pop by to listen, my music room is open to ya..
The Primaluna gear is quite remarkable in stock configuration but this tube set is truly amazing.. Going to custom 211 / 6SN7 mono blocks...
