Hey all...
Due to unexpected financial issues coming up, I'm forced to sell this beautiful 2A3 amplifier 🙁 It's based off John Broskie's Aikido concept, which makes it possible to get very low noise out of a directly-heated triode like the 2A3. Uses high quality parts, like Transcendar 3K output trannies, Hammond power transformer and a heavy-duty Motorola choke. Vishay/Dale resistors, stuff like that. Comes with a few replacement rectifiers - RCA 5V4GA, JAN-Centron 5R4 (the potato-masher), and a US-made 5R4GB, all NOS. Also have two NOS 6CG7's. You'll need a pair of 12AX7's and of course a set of 2A3's to run this amp.

Looking for around $1100 + shipping for this amp, but am pretty flexible on the price. Someone's going to be very lucky to own this one-of-a-kind piece 😎
Email me at "jimj" "at" "rtmx.net" if you're interested.
Thanks.

Looks like you did a fantastic job! I'd love to see your design/schematic for ideas for a higher power project I have on the planning table.
I've dropped the price down to $800 as I'd like to sell this soon.
Most of the parts cost is eaten up in the transformers, obviously...Transcendar's aren't cheap, but they do a superb job 🙂
As for the schematic, I have it laying around here somewhere...hehe.
Someone buy this

Around 3.5 watts, into 4 or 8 ohms.
As for the weight, it's probably going to be around 35 lbs. or slightly more when fully packed and double boxed. This is a heavy amp, and the packaging for it is substanstial to prevent damage 🙂

Alright...
I've dropped my asking price to $650 + shipping.
This is truly a steal for this price, I doubt you'll find much competition with a custom built 2A3 integrated amp at this price level.
Email me if you're interested.
