300B Amp on ebay

hnb2907 · 28th August 2007, 11:00 PM

Hi folks,

I've been perusing the site on and off over the past few months, and though it was about time I got a bit more involved.

Apologies for my first post being a question.

Has anyone any experience of this 300B amp on ebay? The item ID is 270158914060...
Any thoughts on this or another simple amp, preferably with valve PSU rectification. Somehow I don't like the idea of a silicon rectifiers in there!

I'm likely to be setting up a home office, and fancy a cheap (and hopefully not too nasty) valve amp to go in there. I currently run a Heathkit S99 stereo amp which I've refurb'ed and modified to run with a NAD CD player.

All the best, for now....

Cheers,
ChrisC

It uses Chinese 300b tubes. I read they are not like NOS tubes.
The power supply looks a bit skimpy. Their is not much filtering and no regulation.
I also see filament wires next to signal wires.

It will probably sound pretty good but i think their are better options.
