SOLD-Don Sachs Valhalla Integrated Amplifier
« on: 1 Jul 2022, 02:30 pm »
For your consideration is a like new Don Sachs Valhalla Integrated Amplifier.  I planned to use this with a pair of Spatial X3's, however, I went in a different direction. 

•   Includes remote
•   Classic all tube design that delivers sonic excellence, but has modern features for everyday reliability, consistency, and performance.
•   Three 6SN7’s in the preamp section, two 6L6/EL34/KT66/KT77 per channel for outputs
•   Includes 2 quads of output tubes - 4 Shuguang KT66, 4 Russian NOS 6P3S-E
•   Includes 3 Shuguang WE 6SN7
•   Regulated dual high voltage power supplies, as used in the bigger Kootenay 120 amp
•   Epoxy potted transformers in stainless cases, same as the Kootenay, but conservatively oversized in this application
•   Best in class Khozmo 64 step remote control attenuator with relay input switching, OLED display, and very solid metal handheld remote with vol +/-, mute, input select, display on/off
•   Fully automatic biasing
•   Switchable onboard meter with selector and test points for an external meter, if desired
•   Cathode fuse on each output tube
•   3 RCA inputs, 1 XLR input with Cinemag transformers
•   4 and 8 ohm speaker taps
•   Includes original packing and boxes

It should get some open air as it runs pretty warm.  The few hours I had on it was in my vintage cabinet and it was fine.
