Sadly it’s now time to sell my Puresound A30 integrated valve amplifier as it simply doesn’t get the use it deserves.
Purchased late 2014, this particular one was Progressive Audio’s demonstration amplifier and my first foray into valves. It’s been an absolute delight to own, lovely sound and silent in operation. Responds well to tube-rolling too.
In great condition (albeit a couple of minor marks) and complete with the original packaging and manual.
Quick specs list:
Class A operation
3 Line level inputs
30 Watts per channel in Ultralinear mode
18 Watts per channel in Triode mode
4 and 8 ohm output taps
Twin valve rectifiers
Choke smoothing
ALPS potentiometer
SCR coupling capacitors
Carbon film resistors (for better sound quality)
ElectroHarmonix (Russia) 6550 output tubes
Very substantial construction including cast metal transformer shrouds
During my ownership I’ve added the following:
Genuine Puresound A30 valve cage
Soundcare® SuperSpike Feet For Electronics (RRP £75)
WBT 0703 Cu speaker binding posts (RRP £110)
HiFi Tuning Supreme3 400mA x 2 internal fuses (RRP £40 each)
HiFi Tuning Supreme 10A fuse (RRP £63)
Black control knobs (have the original silver one somewhere in the house)
Also included is a boxed pair of matched NOS Svetlana 5C3S rectifiers (1951), and for an additional £50 I’ll add a matched quad of low-hours Tung-Sol 6550 reissues (2005).
Looking for £750 ono collected from Chelmsford. Might be able to deliver by hand or meet halfway depending on where you are. Although I have the original packaging, at 25kgs+ I’m very reluctant to send this by courier.
Payment options: Cash, faster payment bank transfer, PayPal Family & Friends.
Please forgive the terrible photos, I’ll take some better ones at the weekend once I’ve removed it from the rack.
