300b monoblocks

[Wakefield Turntables]

Any of you guys running 300b monoblocks? I fancy dipping my toes, and thought about maybe a pair of these for some fun...

Probably a little over £1K delivered.

They look a bit similar to the Nagra VPA design, though considerably cheaper!

Are mono blocks a must have? If sound quality is your prime objective at reasonable price I would look at something by this gentleman who goes under the name of Fluxion
This is a power amp only and you would also need to supply your own tubes, estimate £5-600 https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649674129-fluxion-300b-parallel-set-power-amplifier-f-3a-14-watts-ch/
This is a cheaper, but still very good, intergrated https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649637603-fluxion-300b-dual-mono-set-amplifier-model-b-1/ again you would need to supply your own tubes, estimate £300-350
He has done loads of videos on You Tube, (so you can check up on products) I've learnt much from watching them and he seems to be very knowledgeable: I believe he's
an electrical engineer from Korea but lives in Canada, wish I'd known about him before I recently purchased a valve amp
My estimates are for purchase of tubes at a cheaper cost, but of course the skies the limit with tubes :lol:
Good luck in your search, wish I'd gone down the 300B route but was always worried if they adequately drive my speakers, I now know they would have
Sorry forgot to add, don't forget the cost of shipping

Andy if you just want a play without spending I have a pair of 300b mono' s built by Nick Gorham just sat doing nothing, in fact they only returned from Nicks last Sunday following a repair, addition of tentlabs heaters and check over. You are welcome to give them a run out, they are my backup amps so no rush to return them.

Here's a link to the same amp you linked to but on AliExpress, and if you scan down you will see different suppliers selling the same thing, prices vary as do shipping costs:
I am not in the uk at present so cannot see shipping cost to the uk: You can also spend a good afternoon going through all the amps for sale :lol:
You can also look at this site, it is where I purchased my amp from, it is run by a Mr Lee who is very helpful should you have any queries or need advice:

Very true, and what a set of backup amps to have.

What a very kind offer Andy, it could save Rexton £1k if he doesn't like, alternatively he may love what the 300b's offer and then it could cost him a lot more :)

[Wakefield Turntables]

I've sent Andy a PM.

Thanks David. I'll have a good look at these when I get some time.

I am running LDA designed 300B’s. I’ve not once considered changing amps since I bought them.
They make beautiful music ��

[Gazjam]

Nick’s stuff is absolutely top notch, Nelson Pass level.
loved my time with the 300B power amp he built for me, stunning sounding thing.

Such a Generous offer, Kudos Sir.

Not sure if this helps you but I am meeting a fella at the Kingfisher at Calder Grove on Monday Morning at 9.30am it would be no hardship to bring these 300b's across if you are about, I guess your not a million miles from there.
