Brought this amp about 1 year ago, it is a Danish amp built by a company making high end equipment in the 90’s early 2000. I have had it totally rebuilt by EFG London. All caps resistors and tubes are new. It has 2 out puts one using Audio Note copper caps which cost over £100, the other V-Caps TFTF which will cost over £400. The power supply is fully tube regulated with separate tube regulation to each cannel; all caps in power supply are Mundorf Tubecaps with Tubescaps also used in the output stage which cost around £100. The case is all Perspex so is not conductive at all. All resistors are to 1% tolerance. Pot is an Elma stepped attenuator the selection pot is also made by Elma which cost around £250. Has a lot of cotton sleeved silver wire used in output stage. I have also put balance on each output as I as the hearing in one of my ears is not so good. Cost of work alone was £305.
Tube wise; Power supply has 1xGZ34, 2xPCL805 and 2x85A2. Output has 2x5687. I am using a weber copper cap LINK (http://www.webervst.com/ccap.html) in place of the GZ34 as these are a better load for the power supply and will make evering thing last for a lot longer, I will supply a GZ34 tube as well who every buys it.
Out performs my £2200 (plus more for mods) Croft Epoch Pre I had before this by a very large margin.
It has only been used less than 200 hours since coming back from EFG London.
This is a line stage only.
Looking for a £850 + shipping.
