Millett Engineer's Amp

I have decided to try to sell some of my first DIY projects.
This is the Millett Engineer's Amp. If you don't know it, read about it on his site.
The chassis is hand made from steel and "thermory" Ash (Kiln treated Ash).
The Iron is from Edcor, I just like to re-patina the covers.
I am asking $450 (plus shipping), which is basically the cost of parts. I would prefer to sell locally, if possible but I am located in Santa Fe New Mexico, so that might not work out. If you are interested but would require shipping in the US, feel free to message me.

Cheers,

Clipping happens around 17WPC.



From Pete's page -



"How does it sound?

I hate that question. After all, I am an engineer...

Well, I like it. I like it a lot.

It possesses none of the syrupy smoothness that the 300B amp had. It is tight sounding - wonderful bass response (as the measurements would suggest). I think I prefer it with the loop feedback, though honestly there is not much difference to my ears with or without the feedback.

Those accustomed to SET amps might find the sound a little edgy, especially if you're using horn speakers. But it's moderate damping factor seems to take some of the edge off, and it plays well with all of the speakers I've tried, including Jordan MLTQWPs, Fostex FE167s, and Klipsch Heresys. With 18W the Heresys will drive you from the room...

Above all, for a tube amp, this amp is accurate. The measurements confirm it."
