F/S EAR YOSHINO 8L6 Integrated amplifier

[ovlov854]

Would you like a trade with an exactly like new unison Unico 100 ?
Dual mono integrated hybrid amp 180w 8ohm 340 4ohm 500w 2ohm made in Italy ?
Bought new remote and double box very easy and safe to ship
Thanks

Hi and welcome to AOS
Thank you for your kind offer but when my 8L6 is in use I use it purely as a power amp. As my T/T and HP100 with its built in phono stage is in constant use your amp would not fulfill my needs

Martin is there any reason not to put this on eBay?

Think it's coming up for hifi selling season, dark cold nights and Chirstmas is coming and people like to treat themselves as well as buying presents for others

I am sure if you put it on eBay, quoting the new price of about £4,800, it will sell as it's a complete bargain for someone

I only use Buy-It-Now these days, with Best Offers

Maybe put the Ear Yoshino up for £2K with best offers and I'm sure it will go especially as you are prepared to ship

Just a thought

Yes I agree.......being tight I am waiting for the next offer on fees !!!!!!!!!!!:l

Hello Martin,

I am very interested in your Ear Yoshino 8L6 amplifier.
I am a new member and have slowly been putting my Hi Fi back together after selling most of it due to losing my job a couple of years ago, but I have my system virtually back together apart from the main amplifier.
I was looking for a Ear 834 , but having read a little about the 8L6 it would seem to be very similar, except the 8L6 can be used as a pre or power amplifier, do you know if there are any other differences.
I live on the South coast in Dorset, so no where near the Midlands.
So, will you post to me in Dorset ?? if so how much, I think the current price is £1670.00
Plus you say it has recently been serviced with new valves, could you let me know the date it was serviced and do you still have the copy of the receipt from Ear.
Plus , being a new member , how does this work ??? ie payment etc.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris. Yes as far as I know the 8L6 just has a switchable pre-amp section and is able to be used as a stand alone power amp as well
I can advise postage to you asap.
Normally we would now contact each other via PM but you need a few more posts before you can do that.
Payment is normally done by either Paypal Friends& Family or Bank Transfer
Ask me more questions in reply to get posts up

Hi Martin,
OK, paypal or bank transfer are fine, so if you could advise transport costs to Dorset via a nextday service.
Also, can you advise when it was serviced and had valves replaced and do you still have a copy of the receipt/letter from Ear.
Plus you say a spare set of valves, I presume these are the old ones that have been replaced when it was serviced, so I presume they should only be used as a stop gap if something happends to the new valves.
I am fairly new to valves, I am 57 years old and got my first turntable when I was 14 , but up until the last year , I had always been transistors.
I did demo an Icon Audio PS1 MK2 MC phono amplifier and a couple of MB30SE mono blocks and on certain material they sounded quite good , but were limited in the type of music they sounded good with, IE it had to be fairly simple well recorded records, but the mid range was great, but the treble was mushy and the bass too loose for me, so I am hoping the Ear with 50 watts push pull class A will be better.
Plus I have recently purchased a noteworthy Phonote MC phono amplifier which seems alot better than the Icon Audio phono amp , though I can only play it through the headphones since I dont have a main amp, so it hard to tell how much better.
Anyway, hopefully I have asked you a few questions.
Cheers

I was hoping nobody contacted Martin so to have the time to sell mine and buy this!
It's a great amp , one of the best, and it can drive most of the speaker in a normal house room, with every kind of music
If you live in a palace using magneplanar, Martin Logan or some big 3-4woofers speaker difficult to drive it's another matter..
For the valve it's a bit of an audiophiliac sickness (that I also have) because in the hi fi use the small pre drivers can work forever, the power ones(the big el34) for thousands of hours
So it's not really a problem ..
