Thor TPA-60 MKII mono blocks: So, these are EL-34 output tubes running very comfortably at 60 watts each.
Boutique builder, Paul Mark was an obsessive genius…a bit mad actually/ suicide and he exhaustively overbuilt his equipment. These really are overkill
for anything I still have now (as I downsize)…..but you….can well use these Thor classics in your dream system, rare and glorious audio jewelry.
Though I find the sweetest sound to be in the lowest powered tubes, sometimes you want/need more power….these mid-power tubes can fill in the soundstage plus bolster and firm the bass while retaining most of the “Aire”.
I find the EL-34’s still have the finesse, warmth and harmonics that make tubes so special.
If your nice speakers can complement and enhance this level of beauty, it would be a stunning set-up. The etched glass, mirrors and silver is just elegant. At night both the lit tubes and a blue lit Thor glass plate are striking.
MkII version with Mundorf Caps. SS# 1013 & 1014, never repaired or any drama. Steady bias, very quiet, no hum. New matched Tung-Sol EL-34 quad output tubes with NOS smaller tubes, 12AT7, 12AU7,12BH7 each. Please read the online reviews. For your consideration. Please check my extensive Audiogon feedback. Local sale encouraged as I hate to ship non-replaceable treasures....but I do have original foam containers. Shipping will be expensive at 48 lbs. ea. to conus only. May be listed elsewhere, check for availability. Thanks for looking. Truman/Atlanta (Pool not included).
Includes:
All tubes and stock power cords but you'll want to use the best after-market power cords with these. At my price: Special NOS tubes are G.E.C. 6201 (military version 12AT7), RCA "Cleartop" 12AU7, Sylvania 12BH7
plus also includes upgraded AMR fuses.
Questions for the seller |

Hi,
Do these have the "faux" balanced input as well as the RCA?
Thank you. No, just RCA inputs. Thanks for your interest. |
Hi
Do these auto bias ? No. Easily set though with chrome knobs in front of each output tube and built-in LED meter. |
