Up for sale here is an H.H. Scott LK-72B.  I purchased it from a fellow here on AudiogoN roughly a year ago.  It has been a wonderful replacement for my previous integrated, but I've since moved on to an 845-based SET integrated and so here it is, back up for sale.    

The previous owner had it restored, replacing all capacitors, cleaning all switches, selectors and pots - there is no noise at all during the operation of any of them.  

He included some nice tubes, which will be included in this sale: 

- Raytheon (Japan) 5AR4 

- Amperex Bugle Boy 12AX7's 

- Raytheon (Japan) 6GH8's

- Raytheon (Japan) 12AX7's

He also had some bias taps installed to make re-biasing a breeze (one probe in a tap; one on the rear ground screw).  I've re-biased it to a slightly lower voltage for longer tube life.

I replaced all tubes with period-correct NOS, to the tune of $650

- Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7's (Dynaco branded) 

- Telefunken ECF82's 

- Mullard GZ34 

- Westinghouse 7591's (Sherwood branded)

I also have some NOS Mullard ECF82's ($100) that I used for only a couple of days before receiving the above Telefunken's.  These, too, will be included.

The LK-72 puts out 36 watts/channel and will accommodate 4, 8 and 16Ω speakers.

It sounded absolutely sublime with my single driver Omega Speaker Systems Super 7XRS Mk2's (8Ω/95db).

One of the things that is prized in this amp is it's phono section.  Keep that in mind when considering other integrated's where you'll need to spend more money to accommodate that functionality...and likely with inferior results.  I used it with a Garrard 301/SME 3009 S2/Denon DL-103 out to a Parks Audio "Budgie" SUT (Cinemag-based) with truly wonderful results.

The unit does not come with any housing (folks often run them without to let things breath).  It also doesn't have any feet (removed and misplaced), but I'm including three Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-Cup's with the lamp black glass balls to place under it (soft flat side against the amp).  These are wonderful at keeping the device isolated.  I think this is the best solution for these old integrated's.

*Please take note of the close proximity of the left and right RCA jacks.  I used old(er) AudioQuest Viper's and some DIY Duelund and Belden (Yazaki-san) cables with Switchcraft RCA plugs.  I was unaware of this prior to my purchase and ended up not being able to use some of my "nicer" cables with larger/modern plugs (though I've come to find the Duelund and Belden options are rather amazing).

Thanks so much for looking!

Questions for the seller
Hi I was wondering what banana spade size , speaker cable ,are you using with this amp, also are the interconnect cables would you recommend given the space constraints noted thanks
Hello! For speaker cabling I used Kimber Kable 4PR with standard banana's (which I still use with my current amplifier). For interconnects I used the older model AudioQuest Viper's and Diamondback's (with the narrower cylindrical RCA plugs) as well as some Duelund DCA16GA wire terminated with Switchcraft 3502 RCA plugs. Both worked well and had just enough clearance so as to not touch each other (of the two, the Switchcraft had more room). I still use both with my current amplifier. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your interest! Regards, Mark
