*****SOLD*****

See - http://www.morningstaraudio.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=7&catid=4

About 5 years old and an 8/10 on the Audiogon scale. This has been in my office for the past two years and has had very, very light use. Includes stock tubes plus Telefunkens/ Philips in the preamp section and Electro Harmonix 6ca7 in the power section. Rectifier tubes are GE's which are rebranded Mullard Blackburns. Comes with original box and manual. I'll post pics later today or tomorrow.

How many watts per channel does this put out into 8 ohms?

According to the 6 Moons review:

... it's 24 or 18 wpc, depending on whether you use pentode or ultralinear mode. Looks like a very nice amp. I'd be considering this if I hadn't already bought two other two-based amps recently.

If the power output will work with your speakers, that is a lot of tube amp for the money, plus full remote control of volume. mute and input selection! And check out the beautiful wiring. Sweet!

A great amp for the money. Roughly 1/3 the cost of retail. I have never seen one this low.

Haven't read the review, but the build quality looks very good. If I hadn't just bought a 300b with another $1000 worth of tubes, I would move on this.

BTW, no regrets whatsoever at all on the 300b.

Just a precaution for you in shipping the amp.

You really need to wedge the boxes that the tubes came in if you bought new from me to insure that the handles don't get bent during shipping. The boxes I believe are about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.

They wedge very nicely between the transformer casing and the handles, also good to use if you still have the 4 inch styrofoam to wedge either between the back of the casing or front of the casing ,again to insure those handles stay straight,

just a suggestion.

Thank you, Bill. I appreciate the tips.
