Had a bit of interest, so thought I'd provide a bit more info, and a price drop ...

One of the joys of this amp is that you can shape the sound by using a wide range of different output valves (see reviews). Indeed the original owner had four different sets to play with (incl. the 5881 and EL34 offered here), but predominantly preferred some KT120s .... so the supplied valves are likely very low hours. I bought the amp to use with my Tannoys, and it was going to be my 'keeper' ... until I was unexpectedly offered the rare chance to own my dream pre-amp a week later. So, the Leben has had less than 10 hours use by me, and is less than a year old from new. New price is £5300 ... so, I'll offer it at half-price of £2650 (delivered in UK) ... or £2600 collected / meet within an hour of Northampton.
