For sale is one of my babies, an amplifier that I never wanted to sell...
But I simply have too many amps around and I can't give them all the playing time they deserve.
This is a SET amp based on the german C3G pentode (wired as triode). Pretty much everything is custom made...
from the chassis (Walnut Burl over cherrywood + 8mm aluminum top plate) to the custom mains transformer and
the custom chokes to the white Delrin volume knob.
Only very good parts were used: Siemens MKV (paper in oil) output capacitors, Sanyo Oscon + Mica in the cathode,
Kiwame load resistors, a Noble pot (detented!!!)and an all-MKP psu with a big 5R4GYB rectifier tube.
Mains voltage is set for 230V only, sorry.
It plays all kinds of music very nicely with amazing resolution and a punchy bass (on high impedance headphones preferably
- I am using Sennheiser's), it is hum free and has many years of service to come.
Built quality is as you see in the pictures... for questions please send a PM ( provide an email adress then) 😉
Asking 550€ plus shipping.

Stunning looking amp ! As a hairsplitter I would have liked that one cap not to be glued to the chassis but in a bracket screwed to the chassis. Apart from that I think it is german quality all around. Congrats, I would never sell it if I were you as I guess you will regret this later on.

Thank you Jean-Paul!
Hope I will not regret it one day... but it also hurts me when it is just sitting on the shelf collecting dust (with four other headphone amps to choose from 😉)
The one cap might not be earthquake resistant but is staying in place for quite some time now, also secured by the solid wire... but I take your point!
