Manley Stingray

Stingray (Version 1.5).  This is the post-2005 version with the RECORD output, subwoofer outs, TAPE LOOP, and the TRIODE/ULTRA-LINEAR switches.  

The EL84 output stage can be switched between either around 20 watts of TRIODE or 40 watts of Ultra Linear mode push-pull operation. Individual bias for each tube is easily adjusted using the trimpots and test points, conveniently located on the top surface of the amplifier. 

The Operating Mains Voltage has been upgraded with power transformer re-wiring on PCB and fuse value change compliments of Eva Manley. This upgrade allows the included Soviet era, military grade output tubes to operate at peak performance. All tubes were recently installed NOS and are lightly used. The tubes included are the best I've found for this unit. However, I do have a number of NOS/Old Stock EL-84 tubes and NOS 6414's that could be included at additional price for your tube rolling pleasure.
