For Sale My_Ref Fremen Edition v1.8 + ‘Super Gainclone’

Things you have for sale.
SOLD --- SOLD --- SOLD

My_Ref amps have been sold, so no longer available!

It’s time for a clear out! So, for sale are the following items, fully assembled and completed, and sounding great! Built by me as I progressed through my DIY audiophile journey, now surplus to my needs.

My_Ref Fremen Edition power amplifier, version 1.8 pcb’s
Built exactly as per official build guide as 2 x mono-blocks, with cost being no object. All ‘best’ components installed, including all recommended audiophile upgrades completed:
I/C’s: LM318 Op Amp, LM3886 Main Amp
Caps: Nichicon, Elna Cerafine, Mundorf MCap Supreme, Amtrans
Resistors: Vishay Dale, Charcroft Z-Foils, Mundorf MResist Ultra
Transformers: 2 x 240vac, 25vdc, 225VA
Enclosures: 2 x Galaxy Maggiorato GX288 (230 x 280), black with silver front panels
RCA + Speaker Posts: Hifi Collective gold plated
Front LED indicator

… and the result is a terrific sounding little amplifier! Total build cost was in the region of £700, but I would be happy with any sensible offers - say £300?

Some images attached, reasonable offers considered!

If you'd like any more info, please drop me a PM.

(Note - LM3886 Gainclone power amplifier is sold, so I've edited this post to remove the details as no longer relevant)

Hi switch401,

Not possible, they're 240v transformers .... so you'd need voltage converter (120 to 240), or replace transformers ....

I should also add that, having checked previously, looks like shipping costs from UK to Canada are very expensive!
 
For those who are looking for a set pcb’s. I’ve got two sets 1.8, smd already done.
Also a complete build and tested set.

I’m now building my own fremen amp and probably don’t have time to build another one.
