A nice little amp. Very smooth and quiet(!).
This little custom hand-made amp by Dennis (Cary Audio founder), can be configured many ways for output power of 5 to 12 watts per channel. It is self-biasing. Autographed by Dennis himself on the bottom cover. Dennis makes a few of these per month.
This amp has: Tung-sol KT150's, Tubestore 274B rectifier. Not sure of the small tube. I also have a nice rectifier Mullard 5AR4 GZ34, fat base, f31 B1K1 for $200 more.
Some combinations you can do with this amp:
*5 watts per channel - 6V6 output tubes and 5Y3 rectifier tube
*7 watts per channel - 6L6, KT66, 5881 output and 5U4 rectifier
*10 watts output - KT88, EL34, 6550, KT99, KT120, KT150 output and 5U4/274B rectifier
*12 watts output - KT88, KT120, KT150 and 5AR4 rectifier
This one is presently configured for 10 watts with the KT150's and Tube Store 274B rectifier.
Will be double boxed for shipment.
