Really nice 2a3 SET. Meticulously maintained. Rated 8, but I can't find any scratches or blemishes. Note that this one has the newer brushed silver body and faceplate and not the typical older versions you see for sale that are chrome with black faceplate. Really sweet. I also have the silver tube cage that will be included -- but I think she's too pretty to wear it. This amp gives you a huge dose of high quality 2a3 SET magic for less than $1K delivered. Very easy to bias with built in meter. I checked with Divertech and it can also run 45's by adjusting bias down to 350. 3.2W with big, open presentation on my 95db open baffles - quite startling the first time I played the amp. Really lets the music speak to you with heart and soul. Real quiet with my speakers - no hum, noise, etc. It is built like a tank weighing in at close to 50 lbs with a relatively small footprint. Not many reviews out there on this one. Herbert Reichert reviewed it for the now defunct Listener -- and bought the amp.I am including the original tube set along with the following upgraded set: -- Pair of Sovtek 2a3's
-- Pair of Tung-sol 12ax7's
-- Philips 5R4GYS (Upscale Audio considers this the best 5AR4/5U4G they have or ever had; and currently sell it for $99) My selling price includes paypal fees and shipping to the 48 contiguous states. Available for pickup or can assist with hand delivery in Philadelphia/ South Jersey area. See info link for more info on this amp from Divertech website I do not have much feedback here; but do have plenty of positive feedback as a seller on Audiogon under the same username -- "gotog"
