I have for sale in good condition a Pure Sound A30. This is a really nice sounding amp and kills just about everything in the sub $2000 price class. It delivers 30 watts of Class A power in ultralinear or 18 watts Class A power in Triode. This is switchable on the top deck of the amp. It is not at the same level as an expensive SET amp but that should not be expected anyway for this price. It has a rich but not syrupy sound with extended highs and bass. Nice overall tonality. Transparency and soundstage are very good with nice soundstage depth and image palpability...unheard by me at this price level before. Bass has surprisingly good control and decent punch. I have upgrade some of the tubes in the amp. I replaced the tube rectifiers with NOS Sylvania 5U4GB and the 6SL7s with NOS JAN Sylvania. Output tubes are the solid Russian made EH6550s. This amp will give you a serious slice of high end performance for a distinctly mid-fi price. If you already have a high priced rig but are looking for a solid amp that won't make a huge downgrade for your den or bedroom, this is the one to get! I will send pictures to those interested but it looks identical to the hundreds of images one can find on the web.
