FS 300b SET monoblocks built by Nick Gorham

** Now Provisionally sold...awaiting collection **

I am selling my pair of 300b SETs. They are transformer coupled power amplifiers built by Nick Gorham of Longdog Audio to this design:

http://www.woundcomponents.co.uk/300b-docs/se002.pdf

I believe the design was originally by Gary Dews of Border Patrol.

The transformers are from Wound Components. They produce 8W so need sensitive speakers, I am using Impulse H2’s. The mid-range is amazingly sweet. Like many valve amplifiers there is some mechanical hum, but this is well controlled by a couple of thick rubber mats which I will include in the sale.

The valves are:- Electro-Harmonix Gold 300B, and Sovtek 5AR4 & 6C45P1

I am guessing a little, but I think the valves have had just over 1000 hours use.

I am looking to get back what I paid for these units which was £850 for the pair. Cash on collection only.

I live near Watford, Hertfordshire. Happy to demo these lovely power amplifiers.

They look like a bargain for someone wanting to try the lovely 300b sound. I now use a 300b amp and there really is 'something' special about it

Oh wow yes, whether single ended or push pull, that 300B sound is divine.

These do look very similar to my Border Patrol SET amp (all be it that mine is not a mono block design)...if they sound anything like mine, these have got to be a bargain.
The only thing I'd say is that the Border Patrols do have a separate Power Supply, but at the price you're asking still looks good!
Good Luck with the sale.
Gary Dews is a real expert with valve amplification.

Thanks for positive comments, I will be sorry to see these go

Monday morning bump! Surely at this price there will be someone wanting to give these beautiful 300Bs a spin?

[davidismynaim]

Thought these would be snapped up...Paul who commissioned these told me the transformers alone cost more than the asking price! Bargain for someone wanting a couple of nice wooden clad 300Bs.

Great looking (and no doubt sounding) amp.
Nick really knows his valve onions.

The 300B poweramp he built for me will see me through to my pine box.
Nick's stuff is as good as it gets, valve amp wise.

Good luck with the sale Fella.

Time for a bump...
