Nietshade F2A Single Ended Amplifier


Designed according to a customer's request. Sonic Attributes: Fluid and Transparent.  Those two words speak volumes. Not everybody has F2A's to design around. We can use KT-88's in the same circuit to produce the same sonics.

Niteshade NS-15


The NS-15 has been redesigned as a unique amplifier capable of bringing out the best in single driver speakers and others just as well.

You're welcome to visit our web site. Take a look around!

Niteshade NS-50 Tube Stereo Amplifier


This is not a 2009 amplifier, but you are looking at a new rendition of it. Just like the F2A amp, this was a custom order. Designed around low impedance primary, wide bandwidth output transformers, she really performs well with 6L6's and KT-88 output tubes. By far, this somewhat new (as of 2008) model has been the most popular.  The pictured amp is clothed in a Autumn Red finish. Features at a glance: Variable negative feedback, tunable biasing and a OD3 regulator.

Coming soon will be another NS-50 done up in Piano Black with a ceramic base. Stay tuned! This one will have a nifty feature not seen on the models posted so far.

The NS-15 is an incredibly efficient amplifier. Power tuning brings an entirely new realm of listening enjoyment to those who do not want the expense of a high wattage amplifier.  By placing precious audio power only where it is used the most, the NS-15 sounds like much bigger, more expensive tube amplifiers.

Priced at $950.00.  Free Shipping until April 7th!

There is nothing else out there like it, guaranteed.

We're always happy to answer questions!

The NS-50 featured above is substantially different than the other NS-50's produced to date. The most unusual feature is our multi-mode power supply. It's possible to switch between either a tube rectifier or solid state diodes. Power output is doubled when in diode mode versus the tube rectifier. This is because there is higher voltage on the tube plates and the voltage has better regulation. In tube rectifier mode, plate voltage is reduced and voltage regulation is much softer. This will reduce output down to around 25 watts/channel maximum. The power tubes will run cooler and the sonics will be a little warmer (more of a classical tube tone). This is not to say overly warm- just a tad bit warmer. Either way, they amp is incredibly transparent and delivery is impeccably accurate.

Along with the Tube/Diode rectification modes, we installed tunable biasing. This control is all about accurately finding the power tube's tonal sweet spot, easily and non-technically. Meters and current/voltage readings are not necessary. The bias control is set up at 12 O'Clock in the lab. This is what I consider nominal calibration under my test conditions.

Variable negative feedback was installed too. With this is it possible to compensate for speaker impedance curves and allow the amplifier to match up perfectly to your system. I saw a thread on here where people were blocking their tweeters to curb the high frequency response. Variable negative feedback makes it easy to do this without any speaker mods. It's one of the most powerful options we have available.

Along with all these goodies, oversize 60 watt power transformers were used. These transformers can easily accept any transients. We did this in order to further promote transparency at very high volumes. Hard to drive speakers will never be an issue with this upgrade, nor will the extra current demands necessary for movie playback at high volumes be any problem.

All of these features combine to provide the owner with the ultimate amplification tool. Flexibility promotes better sound quality and that is an indisputable FACT.

$1750.00 is our sale price if you would like an amplifier with the exact same specifications and upgrades. This IS a big sale and I'm doing it simply because this is one of my favorite models and it's our top seller. Oh- Free shipping to the lower 48!  :D

Hi folks-

The NS-50 is better equipped to mold itself into your audio system than most (maybe any) other tube amplifier on the market. Our featured $1750 model listed in this thread provides an impressive number of features for its price range. Please shop around.... I'm just stating the facts.  :D :D :D

I haven't said much about how our new preamplifier sounds.

It's transparent. Highs are not rolled off at all, mids and base are not accented or attenuated at all. My favorite sonic quality, other than transparency is high resolution: The ability to amplify fine details with precision.

The NS-50 was designed to have the same qualities as our preamp. Both units were developed for critical listening. Both units compliment each other in appearance and performance perfectly. Shown in this thread is a special NS-50 that has switchable tube/diode rectification, 60 watt output transformers, Variable Negative Feedback and Tunable Bias. Guess what? Our combo deal has this special NS-50 included with it- not the standard NS-50!

You get to choose the color of both amp and preamp.  :D
Mods and upgrades can be done to either unit.

Receive a fully decked out NS-50 PLUS a Dual Tube preamplifier for $2500.00. Lower 48 shipping included!

Finicky speaker system? That's covered. Variable Negative Feedback adjusts the amp to your setup with ease.
Switchable tube & diode rectification. You can have it both ways!
Tunable Biasing: Tube rolling has never been so fun. Biasing has never been so easy.
Compatible with: 6L6, KT88, KT77, El34, KT66 and 6550 tubes for a maximum of 50 watts per channel.
