Never used and still in it's original box -- only removed once for a few days for exaimination. Tubes are still in their original packaging and have not been installed or opened. Comes with tubes, power cord, manual.
I bought this amp to be used temporarily in my office, after which it would go to my sister-in-law, however, she doesn't want a tube amp now and I have another amp for the office. I have no idea what it sounds like, but by all the feedback on the Vista Audio amps, I imagine it would be very nice. This is a 5 watt single ended PCL82 (16A8 amp with 4 tubes total. It can be strapped for use with the 6BM8 tubes (ECL82) if you choose. 2 inputs on the rear -- one direct, one volume controlled.
Here's the information from Boris:
model i82, a.k.a. SEPCL82 (P6) is getting a redo and will become i82, mk II.
We have instituted the following changes:
- Stereo volume control (vs. separate control for each channel)
- No headphone output
- Output transformers with more interleaved layers
- 6 ohm output (we find it an acceptable compromise for both, 4 and 8 ohm speakers)
- DIRECT input for use with a preamp and MAIN input for use with its own volume control
- Modified thermal management scheme for cooler operation
We are building 10 units for start, the rest will depend on customer demand.
Price is $380 with 5% discount for preorders.
There are no more of these left, and no immediate plans to build more.
$325 shipped in lower 48. Paypal preferred (no fee). A great small tube integrated for a small room, student, office, etc.
Thanks for looking,
Jim
If no interest here by tomorrow, I'll post on agon but wanted to give AC folks first shot.
