$PRICE REDUCED!
Perhaps one of the finest sounding tube pre/power amps made. Big, dynamic, richness of tone, detailed, extended, layered soundstage, palpable images, musical...musical...musical.
I lusted after this setup for close to a decade. I’ve enjoyed the amps more than any audio component I’ve owned, but sadly it’s time to let them go.
A few points of interest:
Don’t confuse the TPA-30 with these, the TPA-60. They’re two completely different animals. The 60 isn’t a 30 with a couple extra EL34’s in circuit to bump up the power. It’s bigger, it has the LED lit glass Thor panels which help deflect direct sound from the power tubes (and look amazing)... it’s a different beast altogether. 
 The preamp sounds fantastic and is a MK II with remote. It has the matching round power supply with umbilical. The TA-1000’s show up used every once in a while but most are mk1 without remote.
Condition of these is excellent given age. If you get up close you might find a little smudge or two but they really do look like new from a couple feet away. The 60’s have inputs for XLR and RCA but only the RCA’s are connected since there’s no balanced output on the preamp.
These amps are easily serviceable should the need ever arise. Point to point wiring without any proprietary electronic components.  Tubes are in good condition with plenty of life and in my system the amps are dead quiet.... absolutely no audible hiss, pops or buzzing transformers.  
At this time I would rather not ship these, but I will deliver anywhere within a day’s drive of VA 23920. I may consider a longer drive but would need to charge expenses. Let’s talk if you’re serious.
You won’t get many chances in your lifetime to own a setup like this. Around $30k when new, maybe $50k in today’s market.
Please ask any questions if you have genuine interest. I’m happy to talk more about how they sound or any technical details and you can phone me if you wish. If you need more photos just ask what’s missing and I’ll add them here.
If you’re in driving distance to 23920, come by for a listen. 
I can take a credit card or PayPal. Sorry but at the moment I’m not willing to split this package deal for amps and preamp.
Thanks for reading.

Questions for the seller
Are the TPA-60 mono blocks MK II? What are the serial numbers? Thanks, Eric
Hey Eric, They’re MK I as far as I know. Serials are 251 / 252 Carl
