WTB complete solid state stereo amp or SS / tube preamp you've built

Wanted to buy
I'd like to buy someone's solid state amplifier, CONUS, preferably class AB, or a SS or tube preamp. I'm redoing my system and no time / energy to build something myself. And, frankly, commercial stuff just doesn't impress me much anymore on performance relative to cost

Let me know what you have with $ and pictures, again CONUS only
 
Greetings, I have a SImplestark I built a couple years ago. It's described here https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/simpelstark-odnf-amplifier-boards-gb.341363/. I live in Phoenix. I preferred this amp over my Accuphase E-305. Evan

I'm interested, some questions:
1. physical dimensions and weight?
2. power output into 8/4 and can you describe the circuit simply? I've been away from DIY for several years now, not familiar with this one
3. your asking price including shipping to Tucson, zip 85710
 
L 16 1/2" x W 12 1/2" x H 5 3/4" 30 lbs
100W per channel
an ultra linear symmetric topology with only 2 gain stages and very short signal path.
no traditional global feedback loop, utilizing innovative ODNF approach with precise small signal error per channel.

This is not an integrated amp so you would need a preamp or a volume control. I just used the volume control shown in the photo.

It's hard to estimate shipping without your complete address but like I said I live in Phoenix so I doubt it would be more than $50.
So let's say $650

Evan

I have a Korg Nutube B-1 Preamplifier that I am considering selling. I bought the complete kit from the DIY Audio Store (was $299).

Mine is built pretty much as shown on the store web site - only modification is the chassis is lined with Dynamat. It sounds really good - I actually have two of them so this one is not in use.

I can add pictures later if you are interested. Also make an offer if you are interested.

Thanks
