Hey all...

Due to unexpected financial issues coming up, I'm forced to sell this beautiful 2A3 amplifier :( It's based off John Broskie's Aikido concept, which makes it possible to get very low noise out of a directly-heated triode like the 2A3. Uses high quality parts, like Transcendar 3K output trannies, Hammond power transformer and a heavy-duty Motorola choke. Vishay/Dale resistors, stuff like that. Comes with a few replacement rectifiers - RCA 5V4GA, JAN-Centron 5R4 (the potato-masher), and a US-made 5R4GB, all NOS. Also have two NOS 6CG7's. You'll need a pair of 12AX7's and of course a set of 2A3's to run this amp.

Looking for around $1100 + shipping for this amp, but am pretty flexible on the price. Someone's going to be very lucky to own this one-of-a-kind piece :cool:

Email me at "jimj" "at" "rtmx.net" if you're interested.

Thanks.
 
I've dropped the price down to $800 as I'd like to sell this soon.

Most of the parts cost is eaten up in the transformers, obviously...Transcendar's aren't cheap, but they do a superb job :)

As for the schematic, I have it laying around here somewhere...hehe.

Someone buy this :clown:
