    Had this built by Craig Otsby / NOS Valve in Michigan last year. Dual mono 50watts per side will run KT88,KT77, EL34, 6L6, KT66, 6550, 350b. Solid walnut base, switch between ultra linear or triode on the fly, 4ohm/8ohm/16ihm binding posts ( single wire to switch to go between 16 and 4ohms). Manual bias done on top with a d/c meter. Twin 5AR4 and 12ax and 12au on each side. I have NOS Mullard 12au , 12ax and 5AR4 tubes, gold lion kt88 and kt77, Russian 6l6 and Sovtech extra 5AR4 tubes .
    Russian caps internal with all copper binding posts and rca jacks. amp 2.jpg amp 2.jpg amp 4.jpg amp 1.jpg
    Without tubes $2,300
    with all tubes $ 3,300 all of the Mullard tubes are from Brent Jessie, they were expensive and sound amazing.
    Local sale in SE Michigan only will not ship at present
    Will post on US audio mart all prices $200 more. If in the area happy to demo the amp, will drive to meet you also.
    Figured out what I have spent on this amp $4,700 I think what Im asking is a good price
    best,
    Josh

    Its a great amp, I have loved its ability to play so many tubes which change the sound . After I got the NOS Mullard rectifiers it became a great amp they really filled out the sound beautifully.

    This is a great amp and the tubes I bought are the best. Is the price not fair, let me know., make an offer. Would love to sell it being a dedicated gear switcher.
