Hi All
A very reluctant sale, but unfortunately a necessary one.
This is a pristine Audio Note OTO SE Phono - it's the current version with the 4 knobs. It's black with gold knobs and badge.
I purchased it around 4 years ago from one of the Forums and I believe it was pretty new when I purchased.
It has just returned from a thorough check and service (High End Audio Repairs in E Sussex - Ex Audio Note engineer) and the Line ECC82 valve was replaced with a NOS RCA.
The other valves test as follows
Line Stage - NOS RCA (new)
Pre Telefunken ECC83 (L) - 75%
Pre Telefunken ECC83 (R) - 72%
Power Output Sovtec EL84 (l) - 75%
Power Output Sovtec EL84 (l) - 71%
Power Output Sovtec EL84 (R) - 72%
Power Output Sovtec EL84 (R) - 73%
Phono Stage Philips Mini Watt (v nice) ECC83 - 71%
Phono Stage Telefunken (vvv nice) ECC88 - 85%
As you probably know, this is an absolutely beautiful amp, I really don't want to let it go, but as soon as things improve, I will buy another.
I do have a wooden create for this, but collection is hugely preferred and advised - I live in E Sussex and will be travelling to Kidderminster in the next few weeks.
I'm no really sure what this is worth, the engineer advised a fair bit over £2k - but i'd be happy to get £2,000 (please PM if that sounds unrealistic)
Many Thanks
Rich
