I'm calling this the "I have too many amplifiers sale", and as such am attempting to allow someone the opportunity to purchase these at a great price! This item is an upgraded version of my Transcend Push Pull and is guaranteed to be pristine (functionally and aesthetically). Included are a full set of tubes (as described), AC power cord and full two year warranty.  
This unit, is my Transcend KT/EL based Push-Pull amplifier (reviewed by Home Theater review at the following link): https://hometheaterreview.com/aric-audio-transcend-push-pull-tube-amplifier/ 
This unit was a custom-built unit used only by me, and is identical to the reviewed unit with the exception of the following: 
1) Special order Edcor (US made) output transformers instead of Hammond 2) Coupling caps upgraded to Jantzen "Superior Z" 3) Hybrid tube rectifier option (normally a $250 option).   4) Two sets of switchable RCA inputs 
The Gold Lion KT88's are included as are a trio of Tung Sol 6SN7's and a NOS RCA 5U4GB rectifier. This amplifier is guaranteed to look, operate and perform as new with no issues. Full specs can be viewed below: 
I've designed this amplifier exclusively to provide more power than a traditional SET amplifier while preserving the rich harmonics that they're known for by maintaining a short signal path. The venerable 6SN7 is used as both the driver and phase splitters, while using only two coupling capacitors per channel, and cathode auto-bias to the output tubes. Runs exclusively in Class "A" and offers both Ultra-Linear Mode/ Triode-Mode operation with variable damping. This amplifier is an exception to the typical "push-pull" signature sound (sterile, too clean, harsh, etc.).
- Class "A" Push-Pull operation - Cathode "Auto-Bias" requires no adjustments and prevents Bias failure issues - True Triode driver and phase splitters- Minimal signal path and less gain stages for increased transparency - Triode/UL mode (switchable)- Adjustable Feedback control to increase/decrease speaker damping and bass control - Can use EL34, KT88, KT120 and KT150 output tubes  
- 4 and 8 ohm outputs- integrated volume control to be driven directly from a source- EL34- triode-mode= 20 watts/U.L. mode=35 watts- KT88- triode-mode= 25 watts/U.L. mode=45 watts- KT120- triode-mode= 40 watts/U.L. mode=55 watts- KT150- triode-mode= 45 watts/U.L. mode=65 watts- ships with Tung Sol 6SN7's and Gold Lion KT88
- dimensions-18.5" wide x 13.5" deep x 8" tall- weight (unboxed): 39 lbs.- 2-year parts and labor warranty
Price on my website (without upgrades)- $3,500


Questions for the seller
Hi. My speakers (Joseph Audio Pulsars) have a sensitivity of around 83.5 dB. How many watts per channel is this amp? Also, what is the amp's input impedance (my preamp has an output impedance of 1K Ohms. Thanks.
Hi, This amplifier should have no issues driving your loudspeakers to healthy levels. The power rating with respective tubes (in both UL and Triode mode) are as follows: - EL34- triode-mode= 20 watts/U.L. mode=35 watts - KT88- triode-mode= 25 watts/U.L. mode=45 watts - KT120- triode-mode= 40 watts/U.L. mode=55 watts - KT150- triode-mode= 45 watts/U.L. mode=65 watts The Input impedance is 100 kohms so any preamplifier with an output impedance of 25 kohms or less will have no problems driviing the amplifier. Feel free to ask if you have further questions! Best, Aric
