    I'm Chris.

    Default Transcription Audio 211 single ended triode integrated amplifier

    Its taken me nearly a year to decide if I keep my 45 monoblocks or the 211 integrated. I will probably regret it, but the 211 is up for sale.
    Half wave valve rectification,

    Massive mains transformer,

    Oil filled 2Kv capacitor the size of a Tupperware lunchbox,

    Desirable C core output transformers.

    Driver valves are RTC E182cc

    Valve rectifiers are CV187

    Triodes are nearly new psvane T Series Mark II

    Upgraded Audionote volume pot

    Beautiful dense Greenheart wood case (better 'sounding')

    At about 20w per channel it will drive a wide range of speakers

    Very heavy

    Sounds wonderful and will be shown working.

    I was watching a documentary about Scott of the Antarctic and noted that his ship Discovery was clad externally in Greenheart wood to protect it from being crushed by ice. It is one of the densest, stiffest woods naturally occurring

    Price is £1995

    See bigger pictures below. Others available on request.

    Especially anyone who may feel that their amplifier needs to withstand an avalanche.

    Just to clarify a couple of points. This is a true integrated with 4 switchable inputs. It is far to heavy to post, so collection only ��

    You need to provide full sized photographs for items over £250.

    Thumbnails are insufficient and you shouldn't expect interested viewers to have to click on them.

    Please provide full size images as per the rules for selling items ASAP.

    Thank you

    At the start of this section there are 8 pages of instructions going back to 2014. Do I start at the beginning or end?

    Assuming you have the images stored on your PC, laptop etc., you can use 'postimage', which is free.

    Or you can click on your thumbnails, then copy the image address. Repost each image address bracketed with [img] and [/img], thus:

    Thanks Barry, why did it take 8 pages above to say that?

    If I’m going to all this effort I would like to get the pictures the same size as on my computer, not pretty thumbnails ��

    I can’t get to my main computer until tomorrow afternoon. If you can’t wait till then, please delete and I will start all over tomorrow.
