    Default FS Hiraga 20w Class A amplifier

    I bought this from Jake the last year as a standby amp, but need funds. It's quite a rare beast, is big, heavy, class A but doesn't cook the room. It was apparently created as the demo amp for a certain speaker manufacturer - hence the Expolinear badge.

    It been driving my Tannoys with ease while the ARC was in the hospital.

    It is the simplest of circuits should anything go wrong.

    It is heavy so depending where the buyer is I'd need to check postage - someone like UPS would be very expensive.

    I'm looking for a very reasonable €275 PayPal gift.

    PM if interested.

    Oooh - I'm tempted, very tempted. But it's a big heavy beast, so carriage will be very expensive.

    So Vade retro Satana!

    Good luck with the sale.

    I'm sure I asked for first dibs when I missed it originally by a few minutes. I pm'd Adey at 18.49!

    So did I. Just checked the old thread, I didn't actually post for first dibs, Jake told me by PM I'd just missed it. I got in first this time though!

    Go for it Lawrence, it’s a great amp. I’d love another go around with it at some point, so please do bear me in mind if you decide to sell on.

    As a point of interest when I originally bought it I did a bit of research re the providence. The seller, Uwe at Hifi studio falkensee in Germany, stated that Expolinear used it to demo their speakers but I couldn’t ever get to the bottom of who actually built it, despite emailing the company. Defo the Hiraga circuit though, I had that much verified by a techie mate of mine.

    Reading your posts re the amp on here now Adey, hadn’t spotted them before. Did you do any component tweaking?

    No, no tweaks, except cosmetically.

    Lawrence pm’ed first by the looks of things, so only fair that he has it if he wants it. If I do get the chance to buy I’ll make sure I offer it to you next Tom!
