[FS] SJS Model 5 300b Amp & Model 1.7 Preamp

[Thebiglebowski]

Selling the amps as I need to start the vdub fund - If someone wants to buy both I'll do a combined price of ***SOLD STP***

Both amps are cash on collection as I'd rather not courier them (the 300b is nearly 50kg)

**SJS Model 5 300b Amplifier - ***SOLD STP***


This is an absolutely fantastic amp and probably one of the best 300b's I've heard (99% of the Border Patrol I tried) Here's a link to Simon explaining the design and part used.

This is the enhanced version that originally cost £6,500

Comes with the original flight case and the valves Simon chose...

300b = Gold Lions (very little use as I had fitted Western Electric 300b's)
Rogers JAN 6sn7 x2
Sylvania 5u4

[Lawrence001]

Haven't heard them but judging from looks alone these might be the best amps I've seen. GLWS

Beautiful casework on the 300B

[drSM]

OMG what are these beautiful pieces of gear ?

[philv]

The 300b amp is just as nice inside.
Very impressive. And worth every penny.

Simon, SJS, makes wonderful gear.

I beleive this is real wood, not just veneered.
From the feet to the transformer covers, everything is top notch.

8 Watts, I had some LV OBXr's previously and these normally need around 20W (Border Patrol is a very good match) but the SJS drove them with ease and sounded fantastic.
