I will receive a quite rare EAR 516 dual mono stereo amp at the end of this week. It will not win any beauty contests, but it is in pristine condition and rated at 2x50 watt with 508 output valves. It is based on the EAR 509 with lower output, different valves and in one dual-mono stereo cabinet.
It is a rack-mount power amp but I have been told the 516 used to run rather hot, so please place it with space enough around for passive cooling.
It is bias-adjustable on the front and the valves are easily replaceable from the back. Like the EAR 509 it has volume pots for each channel. Some critical components have been replaced with better spec'ced ones by the previous owner, otherwise it is standard.
It will come with an 2 or 3 sets of extra output valves. When I receive it, I will post an update to this advert.
Pictures were taken by the previous owner. I will make sure to pop it open and snap a few internal shots also, so you can see for yourselves that it is in very fine fettle.
I got it as part of a deal for an EAR 802 preamp - a preamp that I cannot praise highly enough, by the way. Currently the EAR 516 is not essential to the plans for my set-up, so I will let it go.
It weighs in at over 20 kilos and therefore I cannot ship it as a private seller in Denmark. You may be able to arrrange your own shipping from the UK or EU-countries.
Price: 1575£. Bank transfer or PayPal + 4%. No need to try to haggle.
