The NS-4 is our smallest single ended amplifier capable of delivering 4 watts per channel into the speaker impedance of your choice. We use single tap output transformers to improve performance. A wide array of options are available, including an integrated version. Free shipping to the to the Lower 48

We can build the NS-4 around either El84 or 6V6 tubes. There is no extra cost for either tube! You get to choose the color.

Our photo shows an NS-8 , but the NS-4 looks the same minus tube rectification and the volume control. (unless you want it!)

The interior of our F2A single ended amplifier. An NS-4 doesn't look much different. The same quality components and construction is used throughout our equipment lineup.

Are you new to tube amplification? There's not a better amplifier to give tubes a test drive. Single ended amplifiers are typically expensive- at least more than $500.00 delivered on average. Experience the awesome tonality of tubes on a budget.

Upgrades!  :D

Some good upgrades for a NS-4:

1. Two input integrated
2. Headphone jack
3. Ipod input jack
4. Tube rectification
5. Tunable biasing

I won't go too much further, since the NS-8 is the next whole step up. The amp as-is is very neutral and easy to listen to. Biasing is never required, unless you want a DC bias option. I will be pleased to provide a very good deal on the upgrade selection of your choice.

It can't be good, it's TOO CHEAP!  :duh:

I would normally be inclined to agree.  BUT- I am NOT agreeing with this statement of justified skepticism.

The most important two words in  the audio industry: Delivery Quality

From $10K amps down to $0.5K amps, delivery quality is what's important. Our specialty is knowing how to make an amplifier sound good and perform its best at any price range. This is precisely why our Classic Series line of rare amplifiers are solid performers and why we can make excellent sounding amplifiers out of most decent customer submitted components.

Am I insinuating that a $500.00 amp will perform as well as a $1,000 amp? Absolutely not! I am, however, saying that this will be one of the finest $500.00 (actually it's less, since shipping is included now...)  single ended amplifiers available on the market.
