ST35 EL84 Based Tube Amplifier
SOLD



This is a 17 watt per channel, push-pull EL84 tube amplifier which was built and tested by tubes4hifi.com. Larger chassis size of 16W x 12D x 4H helps it run cooler than the smaller version.

The ST35 comes with both 8 ohm and 4 ohm speaker terminals. Purchased the amp from the original Buyer and had Mike Galusha look over the amp and install some changes.


The coupling caps are Jantzen Audio Silver Z--Caps matched with in 2%

I discussed the best way to take the cheaper gold plated binding post out and to install all new post ,he said a plate would have to be cut-so too expensive. I had on hand 2 pairs of cardas Rhodium binding post and asked would they fit , they did fit and improved sound above the cheaper post on the 8 ohm tap.The 4 ohm tap will share half of the new binding post, a bit unorthodox ,but sure worked out great !Amp has minor scratches on the chasses that are common with this type of amp , the face looks great

IeGo pure silver IEC
inputs are Gaofei Rhodium pure copper
fuse holder is acme silver coated cyro
Hi--Fi Tuning Supreme silber/Gold fuse

He rewired the input using silver ,copper telfon and from the IEC

ECF Sylvania pre tubes NOS
Matched quad Preferred Series 7189 Premium EL84 Power Vacuum Tube, thetubestore.com ,My estimate on tubes and amp is around 250 hours , all still practically NEW

Outstanding sound !, have too many amps

 As good as this deal will get 700$ and split shipping  FNF OR Zelle can discuss shipping arrangements

Wish I would have seen this a month ago. I just bought parts to build one myself completely decked out to the 9s. I'm sure this amp sounds fantastic with those upgrades. The Tubes4HiFi kits really give a huge value and very accepting of upgrades for even more performance. GLWTS!
