F/S Consonance Cyber 100 Signature Valve amp

[Zoidburg]

For Sale

Consonance Cyber 100 Signature Valve Amp.

I’ve owned this amp for approximately 3 years but have recently developed that well known “itchy ears syndrome” and found myself the owner of a huge solid state amp that I’m quite taken with at present. Unfortunately, my modest listening space means that I can’t keep both amps and even if I could hauling the new heavyweight beast in and out of the rack is just too much to consider doing with any regularity.

The Consonance has been a real joy to own, it sounds great and can really boogie along and its practical in that its self biasing and also has plenty of imputs. It’s been faultless in its performance and has provided a real window into quality valve amplification. Its also been upgraded with some fancy Svetlana EL34s, Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z, and a couple of Mullard ECC81’s as well. I recently bought a matched quad of Jellyfish Audio EL34's (£57.00) which I’ve never got around to fitting but which will be included in the sale price. As can be seen below it also has a very fetching chrome plated valve cage which I don't think was standard. also

I've a box and user manual. The only slight downside is that the remote control has a very fussy volume buttom which mostly chooses not to work, however I've checked with the UK importers and a new remote can be purchased from them for £35.00 if its an issue.

I will not post this amp and would much prefer collection from my place in Liverpool where it can be demo'ed at the same time. I do seem to be travelling a fair bit with work at present so may be able to deliver if that helps secure a sale (Leeds? Hull? Stoke? All seems regular visits at the moment)

Price is £475.00 firm for now but id possibly also consider a swop for a decent set of bookshelf speakers maybe

cheers for looking


Now the Consonance blurb & some pictures.

The Cyber100 signature deliver a taste of luscious tube sound compared with solid state gear at the same price. This tube amp is mothered by M100plus, the highly reviewed push-pull set Internationally, which has been our best selling integrated tubeamp since the company was found in 1994. It now comes with 5 input prs, remoteable selector switch and volume pot. It uses low negative feedback with choke design, so no further bias regulation would be needed for optimal tube regulation and sound. At 40 watts, the Cyber100 signature also comes with a power transformer and circuitry that is over spec and built to easily accept the extra current of the KT88. The EL34 can also be used.

Bargain alert!

[vinyl]

this is bad for my health!!! stone cold bargain!!!

[Zoidburg]

Oh god I've not priced it too low have I?? :doh::D

Hopefully it will attract some quick interest as it seems a shame to have it sat here unused.

[Lawrence001]

If anyone can help get it to me in north london (via scalford?) Then I'll have it please!

If someone can get it to Wolverhampton I may be able to get it to Milton Keynes/London Euston ? If that's any good.

I'm Birmingham on Thursday for a meeting I think. I'll check later but would be do-able to get it to Wolverhampton

Ben,
I'm Bham, and Wolverhampton is around the corner - if I can help just give me a shout, not a problem

[Lawrence001]

Thanks for the offers guys I really appreciate the offer but unfortunately I've got the kids on Friday and can't get to Euston. As I don't drive and have the kids most days I'm not at work, it realistically has to be a door to door drop off so probably someone driving round the northern M25 which isn't far from me.
Thanks again, Lawrence

Lawrence, there might be potential for me to get it from Euston in two ways. My wife might be able to meet at Euston in the car IF she isn't working. I'll ask. Otherwise I work across the road from Euston station so may be able to collect on your behalf and get it to you over the weekend. Let me know.

Cheers

Thanks for that Loz that's really kind you are as ever more than willing to go out of your way. To be honest I'd be slightly concerned about it going through such a convoluted journey with so many handovers with it being a sensitive piece of kit, no offence meant to those involved who I'm sure would take care of it but accidents happen, and one person being held up for reasons outside of their control could leave someone stranded somewhere with a heavy amp to cart around. I think it's just much safer to leave it, I've got an M100Se, just fancy a remote so I'm not desperate.

Ps are you off to Scalford? Looks like I can get there.

I think I would share your apprehension. Scalford looks great and I'd love to attend one day, but I'll be at the family home in France then. Have fun at Scalford, maybe leave the wallet at home. ;)

[Zoidburg]

Much as id love to sell the amp ASAP id also share some reluctance to have it travelling through multiple hands (even the soft welcoming hands of the members on here:D:D).

I do make the occasional trip to south London to see family so if its not sold by my next trip il drop Lawrence a PM to see if he's still interested.

[Lawrence001]

But it does go to show what kind helpful people there are on this forum :-)

Listed it on the dreaded bay as well but at a considerably higher price.

This is a huge bargain for any forum members and I would much prefer to sell it on here.

This is a lot of amplifier for the money.
Liverpool's a lovely friendly place, too .... well worth a trip.

Thanks for the kind words Peter mate. I've just agreed to buy the JBL's L40s advertised on here today so I hope this amp can find itself a nice new owner ASAP. il throw in all manor or tea / coffee and fancy biscuits to anyone coming to collect it.

[Hammer]

Hi Ben. i noticed in one of your earlier posts you mentioned you were going to a meeting in Birmingham if you go there on a regular basis perhaps i could arrange to meet you there?

Hi Martin,

Although I would prefer it collected from my home so a full demo could take place, I do visit Birmingham reasonably regularly due to work so it might be possible that we could meet. Il drop you a PM this evening to discuss OK.

[Hammer]

ok no problem
