For Sale Pete Millett 'La Luxuriante' R120 tube amp

Things you have for sale.
Design by Pete Millett, more info can be found here: http://www.pmillett.com/r120_se_amp.html

Lovely sounding tube amp with the hard to find R120 tubes as power tubes, driven by an EF36 pentode (with screen voltage regulated by a VR tube) and a cathode follower
This gets you a nice 4,5W into 8 ohms.

The IDHT R120 has been called the European 2A3, and has been one of the favourites of Jean Hiraga, it has also reached cult status in Japan. So few tubes are left in these parts, especially measuring NOS and being matched, like these pairs.

Parts are all chosen to be as exact to the original design, so Kiwame resistors, Elna Silmic II capacitors, Mills cathode resistors and custom Martin Mug output transformers
Power supply is a 5u4gb rectifier, followed by a common CLC supply and each channel is decoupled by an additional LC, driver stage has an additional RC rail.

The power transformer has a PCB designed by Pete Millett to easily switch line voltage, so 100-110-120-200-220 and 240V are all available!

SOLD
