FS: SAC Thailand Glowmaster balanced KT88 push-pull stereo amplifier

sacthailand.com

This is the version with standard transformers and in original condition, not modded.

Condition wise, there are some scratches on front panel and the roof of one tube cage is slightly depressed (see photos). The amplifier is otherwise in excellent condition with original tubes run at 25-30 mA bias (slightly lower than recommended 30-40 mA).

Originally bought from SAC Thailand in 2014. I'm selling because it has way to much gain for me (26 dB).

Local pickup preferred (item is located in Espoo, Finland. I offer listening and coffee!). I have all the original packaging/crates, but shipping would be on the buyers risk.

1800€

Thanks=)

My gain structure is a bit gone stupid: Source outputs is 4.0 V RMS, preattenuator goes down to -40 dB, which I experience as party level with + 26 dB in power amp and 95 dB/2.8 V speakers, so no jazz when kids are sleeping=)

I think bridged followers would be just about right level-wise, so my agenda for selling is freeing up funds for heat sinks, transformers etc. and freeing up space at home to earn sympathy in building a new box.
 
I marked all the tubes and packaged the amplifier carefully. The package weights just under 50 kg and measures 62x49x50 cm. Puh, this thing is heavy!
