First Watt M2 Clone for sale and pickup in Punta Gorda, Florida. I believe I built this amp sometime in 2017, but it has been upgraded a few times since. I sold (traded) this to a friend and he has since moved from Michigan to Florida. The boards, output transistors, and Edcor’s are from diyAudio member Tea Bag and included Harris 9240’s which don’t exhibit the IR “bloom”. I don’t recall Tea Bag offering JFET’s, so they would have come from a batch of matched Toshiba pairs I purchased from member Spencer years ago. As I recall JFet’s were in the 7-7.5 range. The blue caps you see pictured (C2) are ClarityCap PX series, other parts are Vishay RN-60 resistors, Panisonic ER 3W resisters (scource resistors), and Wima film caps. Chassis a Hi-Fi 2000 5U/400 Disipante chassis w/UMS pattern giving lots of room to maneuver inside and the option of “cranking” the bias if other FW clone boards are installed. IEC receptacle /Fuse holder/ power switch by Shurter, Antek AS-4218 toriod. DiyAudio power supply upgraded to 8 Nichicon 22,000 uF (don’t recall what series). I wire everthing with Faston 110 spade connectors which I like for making quick changes (no desoldering) of other FW clone boards. Installed is a H9KPXG low voltage On-Off switch drives AC mains relay \ includes soft start and momentary ring lit push button switch. Binding posts and RCA’s are by Cardas. I did upgrades/preventive maintenance a couple years back and everything is in tip top condition. The amp is configured a little different than most being that the tranny is mounted in the back and amp boards are flipped left to right, this gives very little transformer interference (even with no shielding on the Edcor) and the amp is very quiet…I want to say dead quite the last time I listened to it, but not 100% certain. Also has Jensen JT-11P-1 input isolation transformers installed to prevent ground loops.
Asking $1000. PM me if interested and I will put you in touch with Tom in Punt Gorda.
