I've bought some Analog gear.
So other gear that I absolutely love, has to go.
This is a brand spanking new Almarro 205a MKII (about 1.5 month old). The protective plastic isn't even off the bottom plate. Not a single scratch and it is a 10/10 condition wise.
6moons review:
6moons audio reviews: Almarro A205A MkIIIt is UPGRADED and has a vastly improved sound character as opposed to stock:
1) NOS Tubes:
- Throwing in THREE absolutely NOS Mullard EL84 tubes (cost $350 per pair right now).
- RCA Blackplate Cleartop 12AU7
- Tungsol Blackplate 12BH7A
- Ei Yugo EL84 pair included (stock)
- Sovtek 12AX7 included (stock)
- Tube Damper
3) Two Furutech fuses (1A that cost $50 a piece)
4) Properly done 0.22uF Ampohm Paper in tin foil and oil Capacitor upgrade. These are the caps of choice by Jon L who must have rolled over a 100 different capacitors before settling on this one particular one.
5) Including a pair of Auricaps 0.47uF, 630V for your cap rolling pleasure. But the Ampohm as installed are the best really. Need a bit more breaking in but already sounds sooooo good!
It is an EXCELLENT K1000 amp as I heard at CanJam and sounds exquisite.
I hate letting it go as this amp is so hard to come by (long wait from Japan).
Current retail for the stock latest version is $900 from Paul at ImagineHiFi and on the way up from what he tells me due to exchange rates etc.
$1150 shipped in CONUSA. Paypal adds 3%. Double Boxed with manual.
