Near Mint Condition. The Legendary integrated version of 890 amp w passive preamp. 70 Watts per class A push pull triode design. I have original KT90 tubes and 2 backup sets (see below) of original KT90 Yugoslav made tubes. Very rare. No issues, excellent sounding amp. Can be switched to preamp bypass to use another pre but no point as passive is pretty good. Simple is better. Everything original with manual and box. No remote came with original unit. Lots of life on tubes still as they are not driven hard by Tim de Paravicini's design.
Features include balanced inputs (transformer-coupled) as well as unbalanced, separate level controls for each channel, and the option of flexible mono-block operation to deliver 140W into a wide range of loudspeaker loads. Build quality and finish are to EAR's usual high standards, with a distinctive touch of luxury in the thick brass front panel, heavily chromed and polished to a mirror finish. Reliability is assured and there are no user adjustments.And the sound? All the EAR trademarks are there: beautifully natural midrange and treble, superb stereo imaging, and of course extended but perfectly proportioned bass, with the extra power raising the roof even further than our earlier models.
I will include two sets of spare KT90 tubes. 7 OEM de Paravinci KT90, 2 Yugoslav KT90 VTL (same factory), and 7 Electro Harmonic Russian KT90. This will last you a long long time as very low load on tubes. This in addition to 8 OEM tubes in the Amp. Total of 24 KT90 tubes - tubes alone are worth over $2000.
