Tube Audio Design Vintage Cast Iron For Sale | AudiogoN

2x200 W into 8 ohms. Wonder how hot it gets when delivering that kind of power. And I wonder how the output devices will survive given the thermal resistance of whatever goop they used to attach the output devices to the pot.

$40k!! Insane. $400... Sure. If I was in the market for a cast iron pot with an amp in it...

Not quite as silly as the MacBook Pro I saw on eBay earlier today. "Near perfect condition". You just had to accept a cracked screen and nine missing keys on the keyboard. But apparently, it worked great with an external monitor and keyboard...

A fool and his money...

Cooling shouldn't be a problem. The outputs aren't hooked up and the filter caps are setting with the pins up, not wired either.

April 1st already?

Hmmmm........... I wonder what SWMBO would do if I made a couple of mono-block amps out of her cast iron skillets?
OTOH - if I could sell 'em for say $10k each she might go fur it!!!!

As Steve said - heck - this thing isn't even hooked up - gotta be a joke!

Hmmm..... Tube Audio Design does have a web site and BTW the $40k seems to be for the used unit. The new price is $100k

 

[a.wayne]

Yep . not hooked up , i guess he is getting ready to cook sumting up .................😀

 

[a.wayne]

Hmmm, Another thought , dis could be Magura's next amp chassis ... 😀

 

[lanchile]

$10 for the pot !

Wow. this is the worse "chassis" for this amp ever!!!.
I guess this amp is HEAT proof lol. Who is hungry now?😀

hahahahaha She will never know!

 

[planet10]

I actually have 2 half-moon shaped pots of similar casting i got with the idea that they might make a unique chassis for a set of monobloks (tube)

Obelix might like that amp. I don't.

You need this amp to connect with your industrial heritage. Iron cooking pots were Abraham Darby's must have product from Ironbridge, birthplace of the industrial revolution Ironbridge Gorge Tourist Board | Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the Ironbridge Gorge Museums, Accommodation, Attractions & Events. Not sure what you would play through it, turntables were not even a gleam in Berliner's eye. Berliner wasn't even a gleam in his Dad's eye.

He made a cutout in cast iron for a C14 IEC socket.... that's worth $40k in my book. 😛

Only suitable to play heavy metal rock music - not a really good amp for the soft stuff!! 😛

 

[chris661]

On the plus side, I expect it would make a serious mess of anyone that tried to break into it's owner's house/shed etc......
