Great little integrated tube amplifier.2 x 12AX7 - Mullard Reissue CV4004, Matched Pair
2 x 12AU7 - JAN Philips 6189W, Matched Pair
4 x EL34-Mul - Mullard Reissue EL34 Power Vacuum Tube, Matched Quad The preamp tubes have seen around 1000 hrs and can last for 8000 – 10000 hrs more. The power tubes are brand new. Have being replaced just recently and have around 50 hrs of use. Amplifier is in very good condition except 3 things:
1. Small nick around 1/3 of the inch at the little left off from center of power transformer. Can be seen on the pictures but it’s not visible from 3-4 feet from amplifier.
2. The blue light indicator on the volume control disappears when volume knob is in a position from 7 to 9 hrs and reappears after 9 to the end.
3. Remote control lost its color on the left and right side (please see pictures).
All these don’t affect the sound in any way. I used it with Fostex F200A loudspeaker (which is also for sale) and it was very good match. This amplifier has everything Stereophile’s Robert Reina said in his review. Tube cage is available, as well as box, manual, white glows and all packing. I have good feedback on Audiogon under user bgreene.
