Convert 2 - not sure about being a great price but very rare to see pop up AFAIK.

If you look on Reverb, there are several Burl B2's for cheaper - but reverb charges you tax and takes a hefty cut from the seller.

 

Diy "bucket subs" really good deal at $40 but local pickup in San Diego only.

Haven't heard it myself so can't comment on performance, but it's gotten good reviews in the past:

AMR DP777 SE for $1695

 

Holo Cyan 2 @ $1100 : https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650144964-holo-audio-cyan-2-dac-mint/

 

This is more for shits 'n giggles, the seller clearly states that he is unable to test that it works, but here's a SS-rectified Glenn OTL with the 6-12-25 voltage switch and the full 9-tube complement. Full disclosure, I sent a low-ball offer and the buyer countered at $1200.

Interesting... But these hum sometimes? Or need a fair bit of tube rolling to make them silent?

No 120/230V switch on this one, interestingly, though a quick image search suggests they don't all have this.

 

It's a sensitive amp. It picks up noises in tubes that other tube amps may not but there's always trade-offs. You get an amp that allows tubes characteristics to shine on its own. Big wide and deep sound stage as well and hits pretty hard.

Also the 120/230v switch was installed per the owners request. Most GOTLs were sent out to customers in the US. You won't see too many with the switch. Also, for $1200 with the Lundhal transformers with the voltage switch and a compliment of tubes is really damn cheap for the amp.

 

If I didn't already have this exact model (specifically, if it was tube rectified), I would have rolled the dice on $1200 and then sold off the loser, but I can't really recommend this, though, because you're rolling the dice that it even works.

 

I also low balled them (I REALLY don’t need another amp) and they countered at $1100. FYI.
