Hey...
I might be selling my SE84CS soon...it's in flawless cosmetic and operational condition. Has a stained cherry base, gold Audio Note attenuator and knob in the front, and the original and upgraded set of tubes (I've got the stock Ruby 5U4G, Sovtek 61NP and Svet SV83's, as well as a NOS GE 5U4G, new production Ei EL84's and a NOS Amperex 6DJ8 ). The internal wiring has been slightly modified - the bias switch in front has been modified to select between the front and rear input jacks. The rear input jacks are wired to the attenuator and are running in mono. The front jacks bypass the attenuator and run stereo. This can be easily switched back to the stock configuration if you want. Email me at "jimj" "at" "vt.edu" if you want more info or pics. Looking for around $600 OBO for the amp, or trade for a pair of Paramours or similar 2A3 SET amp. Thanks for reading. |

I thot it might be that amp... the cherry bass & audio note knob were the big clues....
My buddy Chris did the bass & mods on that amp. There are actually 2 of them plus a matching foreplay. They are really very good. dave

Just a couple of notes from the modder- the volume control is the Decware factory stock ( i.e Alps) pot - the gold-plated solid brass AudioNote knob cost more.
The rear volume RCA's are internally bridged for mono . Removing that jumper wire could regain the use of the volume control in stereo mode. As Steve has posted on his web site recently, while the minimalist purists maintain that the 'direct' input sounds better, there are some system combinations where an extra level control is desirable. http://www.decware.com/paper66.htm Any competant DIYer could reinstate the function of the bias select switch. This was removed since several listeners agreed that in the context of the particular system, which included Heil AMT/Fostex speakers, that the 2K7 position sounded less aggressively forward and harsh. Finally - for those no fully familiar with this model - due to an unusal trick with the OPT's it really does prefer lower impedance speakers; preferably with single cap X-overs, or even better full-rangers. From the designer's website: Quote:
Sounds wonderful with Fostex 103/127 and particularly 108E Sigmas in BLH like Ed Shilling's Hornshoppe Horns, or a DIY Buschorn MKII. Would aslo be very well suited to bipole MLTL with Fostex 103 /127E, or the commercial Omega Super 3B. The mated pair of these amps visited the VSAC2003 show, and were auditioned for several hours in Louis' display room. I personally prefered the presentation, sound-stage, imaging and midrange transparency of the Super 3 bi-poles over the 6" single driver. A truly wonderful amp in the right system, and particularly magical with NOS EL84's. |
