Well did not think this would happen as I waited so long for this amplifier and done so much work along with Glenn Croft to get it it working in my system . This is a really lovely sounding amplifier and is the best Valve amp I have heard . Sadly it just does not gel with my system and can not produce enough volume . This is not a power thing as this amplifier has been replaced with a Thirty Watt SS power amp that goes way too loud to ever be used at full crack and this is a full 35 Watt amp . Impedance mismatch or something else I have no idea but while for most this will go loud enough but with no head room and sound beautiful if the source materail has been recorded at lower levels then it just can not be turned up loud enough and this includes using my dCS DAC set to 6.3 V out put .
So I have not other passive system that this can be used with and it is just far too good an amp to be left sitting there doing nothing so I have to sell it . This has been back to Glenn Croft and had a complete new set of both output and small valves . According to Glenn using the PL509 Valves every day this should last at least 12 to 14 years . I have box of part used valves as well which will be handed on to the new owner. This because of the nature of the amp and not having any packaging will either need to be collection only or I can deliver for fuel a reasonable distance . Looking for £1100 which I think is fair given the cost of the full new valve set but will listen to sensible offers . Any questions of a general nature by all means ask here . Specifics would be best by PM .
