My single ended pure class A amplifiers are perfect for any audiophile looking for a unique listening experience. They are ideal for use in vintage audio systems and will provide an unparalleled sound quality.These hand-built single ended mono amplifiers feature deluxe Orion power transformer, as well as Tamura brand single-ended inter-leaved output transformers. These transformers were made in Japan back in the 1960’s. They are superior in fidelity and quality to any transformers you can buy today.Each chassis size is 7 x 12 X 3Some of the features these mono amplifiers offer:
- 1940’s Bud Electro Zinc using 20 gauge steel. Far superior to the thin chassis made today. We spend lots of time sourcing high quality parts.
- ElectroCube audio grade Mylar capacitors
- Point-to-point hand wiring, If other sellers do not show under their chassis it may be because they use overseas circuit boards. Not good.
- WW2 vintage nickel over brass pilot lamp that will last forever
- Superior brand 3-way banana plug speaker connector; easy to use and will not break or come loose.
- 1950's new-old-stock high voltage USA Military broadcast-grade surplus Amphenol tube sockets, that will last forever.
- High-quality alumiumn volume knobs, with set screws. Not the cheap ones most people use that crack and fall off.
- Hammond brand 2.5 volt filament transformers and Orion filtering chokes
- Clean deck with no excessive screws, bolts, hardware or nuts showing. Open chassis not congested with tubes too close together.
- Gold-plated high quality RCA input connectors.
- Heavy metal bottom chassis covers with heavy duty rubber feet
- New-old-stock 6AX5GT rectifier tubes. They last and may be the best slow warm-up rectifier tubes ever invented. 6SN7 low mu triode tubes & two 45 output tubes
- 1960's Military grade new-old-stock hum rheostats.
These are the best sounding amplifiers available anywhere, at any price. Single-ended with Tamura transformers. The 45 tube is the most musical tube ever invented, Beautiful clean clear highs and warm but very crisp bass. You will notice the difference the second it comes on. You can pay more but you can not purchase better sounding amplifiers.
I use some of the best parts in my amplifiers that were ever available REGARDLESS OF WHAT YEAR THESE PARTS WERE MADE. For instance, in these amplifiers, I might use tubes from the 1930's, transformers from the 1960's, tube sockets from the 1950's, and modern top-quality Alpha brand gain controls. I use the best parts I can source no matter what year they were made, and combine them for the perfect amplifier. I spend many hours hunting for these superior parts.I started building my own amps because many of the new amplifiers people offer today do not hold any long term value, and quickly fall apart with normal use. The transformers may open up, or the tube sockets break; many times the RCA connectors come loose, or the screws that hold the speaker wires on can strip out — most of the time these issues just cannot be repaired. Most of the so-called USA made amplifiers sold today may have only one token part made in the USA, They state they are factory assembled in the USA, but if you know what you are looking for you will see, most of the parts are a low quality.The other reason I build my own amplifiers is I can use some of the best triode output tubes ever made, in combination with my single-ended Class A output design. I can build Amplifiers that were never available or offered for mass production. I use 45 output tubes and low-mu 6SN7 triode tubes for sound quality, and to lower the chance of micro-phonics.
