  2. Hi Guys (first post so be gentle!) Looking for some advice on a Kt88 power tube problem. I've recently purchased a second hand Yaqin Mc-100b and thought I'd check bias with a multimeter as previous owner seemed to have even less knowledge about tube amps than I do (he was running left channel in triode mode and right channel in linear). Amp is a year old. Anyway I'm no expert although I've owned plenty of tube guitar amps over the years but alas, these were all maintained by amplifier techs. On checking bias test points, V2 power tube showed no reading on the multimeter. I at first assumed the test point might be faulty as the tube visually looked fine and sound wise the whole unit played perfectly. Biased all the other 3 Psvane KT88s at 0.55v at around the 1 hour mark of the amp being switched on. Again, V2 showing no multimeter reading, I left the bias unadjusted. I played music for about 15 to 20 min and saw V4 light up much brighter than the others so powered down. I was dead sure I biased correctly at .55v as recommended in Yaqin (terrible) manual. Who knows....... 20 min later I dropped V4 bias all the way down and rebiased down to .47v on all tubes a little colder to be on safe side and listened to music via turntable and cd for next 5 hours zero issues. Wanting to assess whether V2 test point was the issue or the tube, I today swapped V2 tube to V4 and vice versa. Checked multimeter and V4 position now has no reading (same tube that had no reading in V2 position originally). Clearly that particular tube is at fault. My question then is, why might a tube not show any current when visually it looked like exactly the same glow as the other 3 KT88s and sound seem normal. In my guitar playing days I could easily pick if something was off, so I'm pretty confident I'd notice if this integrated amp was off, maybe not! I noted this evening that the problematic tube was warm to touch, where the other 3 were the usual very hot I'm used to. Glow was about same accross all 4 tubes. So I guess I'm looking for advice on whether I could still play the amp in this situation while I order in a matched pair? Could I get away with replacing the one tube only?? Is it likely just a crap tube or something within the amp? Why would V4 have overheated after biasing at .55v and could that somehow relate to the faulty tube in V2? Would forum members recommend that a tech inspect it or just buy a matched pair of Psvane KT88s and see how it goes? Appreciate any input on the subject Cheers Brad

  5. Item: Audio Research VSi60 Integrated Valve Amplifier Location: Melbourne 3127 Price: $3000 Item Condition: 9.5/10 (good as new, no reason for knocking off 0.5!) Reason for selling: Surplus to requirements (gone solid state this time) Payment Method: Pickup - Cash; Paypal to long-established SNA members Extra Info: Beautiful sounding and reasonably powerful integrated valve amp from the hugely respected Audio Research stable. Purchased in Feb 2016 and with no more than 60 hours on the valves (KT-120). In original box with remote and power chord. This is a relist from a year back - too disorganized to relist it back then. I have reused the same pictures - it has not changed condition in that time (lived in box, just removed recently for a last listen before parting with it). I can demo to serious buyers, including at your place if not too far away. Pictures:
  6.

  7. Item: AUNE X1S Location: Canberra, ACT Price: 200 posted Item Condition: 8/10 Reason for selling: No longer being used Payment Method: Pickup or post - Cash, Paypal (buyer pays fee or as friend and family) Extra Info: This is a great headphone amp that I just don’t use anymore. I have two DAPs and a decent sound card in my PC so I don’t use this very often. I’ve also moved to listening to music on my two channel system which I prefer. It has worked beautifully with the following HPs: Beyer T90, Senn HD-58X, Hifiman HE-4XX and HE-300 and a set of Fostex TH-X00s. Doubles up as a great DAC and uses a 9018K2M (2 channel version of the 9018) and was in use for home theatre up until recently. You can also take the USB in and use the COAX out to another DAC if that is something you were interested in doing; I did try this and it was great on the end of WFS Recovery. Pictures:

  11. Item: Vitus SIA-025 Integrated Amplifier - RRP US$27,000 Location: Adelaide Price: SOLD Item Condition: Mint condition in original box with accessories Reason for selling: Need the funds so my system needs to go! Payment Method: Local pickup or direct deposit for interstate buyers Extra Info: Basically the best integrated amp money can buy and better than most separates! Pure class A 25Wpc switchable to class AB 100Wpc. Don’t be fooled by the numbers, the solid state electronics provide immense power but with tube-like holographic imaging. This is a preamp and monoblocks (SM-010 moaural amplifiers) in a single box. The result is five inputs (balanced and unbalanced), a preamplifier output for bi-amping purposes and balanced speaker outputs. At 40kg, it is built like a Bentley and feels extremely refined with no expense spared in its construction. Beautiful remote that is only available with the Signature and Masters series products. Also includes the original Vitus power cable which is better than many commercial audiophile cables and Vitus packaging. 230v version. Dimensions: 43.5w x 43d x 13h cm The reviews speak for themselves:
  12. Hi all, I have just picked up my first tube amp as shown in the pics. It is a single end triode (SET) amp with 300B valves. Approx. 10W per channel rms. Until now I have only been using my vintage integrated Marantz 1090 from turntable phono so I don't have a dedicated phono stage. I would like to be able to use the Marantz as the pre/phono stage for the new tube amp until I find a decent dedicated pre (if required?!). I have got it working with the following connections: turntable (Marantz TT 6350) -> Marantz phono input (l+r) -> Marantz Pre-Out -> Tube Amp However with this set-up I can adjust the gain on both the Marantz and tube amp and I'm not sure this is correct? Could it lead to damage if the gain is too high on either one or both? Will it make for a 'noisy' connection? Any advice would be appreciated? Thanks!

  14. Item: Vincent SV-237 Integrated Amplifier with spare Telefunken NOS 12AX7 Tube and Original Tube Location: Maribyrnong, VIC Price: $1300 inc $20 to SNA Item Condition: Outstanding Reason for selling: Moving up the food chain to a higher Vincent model Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal (add 3%), Bank Deposit Extra Info: Bought new a couple of years ago, this overachiever has served me very well. Around six months into ownership, I replaced the stock 12AX7 (Chinese) with a NOS Telefunken smooth plate and was pretty astonished with the boost in sonics. It is still fitted with that 12AX7 and I am supplying it with the second one I had as backup as well as the stock tube. I have not played with the 6N1P-EV tubes as they don’t seem to have much in the way of NOS offerings anyway. The remote has got a couple of knicks on it, I have tried to highlight where I can. It still operates perfectly though. I should also point out that I have the original box for this unit too. Pictures:

  17. Item: A pair of CONSONANCE CYBER 845 MONO BLOCKS Location: Ascot Vale, Victoria Price: Withdrawn Item Condition: Excellent - These amps have been lovingly cared for however there are a couple of dents/marks on the side edge as shown in the pictures. They look far worse in the pictures than in the flesh and must have happened during our recent move as I had not noticed them until I looked them over for this add. Reason for selling: Wife forced me to. - We have recently moved into a new house and while it is bigger than our old house I am told these are far too big to go in our lounge room. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash Extra Info: Over the years I cycled through a few amps, valve and solid state before finally settling on these. During this journey I found that I was very drawn to the Single ended valve sound, however, found their low power limiting. The Consonance 845's where the solution for me with class A, single ended, 28 watts. I currently have Shuguang 845B, National Electronics 5687 and Philips SQE88CC tubes fitted to the amp and will include the additional valves, shown in the pictures, in the sale. Due to the size & weight, (approx 30Kg each), a local pick-up preferred. Happy to answer any questions. Pictures:
  18.

Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank transfer Extra Info: Solid 50wpc SS amp that can drive most speakers well, made in UK. Comes with original remote. Legendary British design with a warm and articulate midrange, punchy and extended low end and clear, airy treble. Punches way above its price tag! Pictures:
  19. Item: Yamaha AS-1000 Location: Townsville, QLD, Australia Price: 850 Freight available at buyers expense Item Condition: Used Reason for selling: Downsizing Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I have owned this amplifier for the last four years, paired with Gloss Black Dynaudio Excite X12's (also FS) and a matching Yamaha CD-S1000 (also FS) . The amp is in excellent physical and working condition, and the sale comes with the original box and remote control. Shipping is available at the buyers expense. Aside from a couple of minor scratches on the lid as I have photographed, the amplifier is in otherwise absolutely excellent condition, it weighs 22kg and is a testament to the build quality of the amplifier, also reflected in the powerful clean sound it produces.

  20. Item: McIntosh MC452 Quad balanced power amplifier Location: Sydney, NSW Price: $11,900 Item Condition: As NEW, never used, still in original packaging Reason for selling: Kept for a second system, which my apartment doesn't accommodate, so surplus to needs as I have two Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Used once to test, still in original packaging with all manuals.documentation Having a bit of a clean out, with some seriously high end gear going at a fraction of RRP. The MC452 at 450W X 2 at all ohms is McIntosh's current model, most powerful 2 channel power amp. The unit is flawless and indistinguishable from new. Was purchased 3 years ago along with another MC452 as well as an MC303 and MX151. I use the MC452 for two channel music and the L/R in my 5.2 setup. At 450 watts per channel, the MC452 is the most powerful McIntosh stereo amplifier and utilizes the latest advancements in circuit and cosmetic design. With the MC452, the latest circuit components are deployed in the classic McIntosh Quad Balanced design that cancels noise for impeccable audio performance. It features the world famous McIntosh Autoformer, which guarantees your speakers will always receive the full 450 watts regardless of their impedance, while Power Guard® will prevent clipping that could damage your speakers. Your speaker cables are easily but securely attached with our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that are gold-plated to prevent corrosion. "Lacking any discernible flaws it struck me just how good of an amplifier this was. When a piece of equipment does not call attention to itself but rather gets out of music’s way to let it express its very nature you know it is on to something good. Song after song that was how it was with the McIntosh MC452." - Enjoy The Music "The McIntosh C2500 and MC452 excel at spectacular dynamic expression, beautiful and accurate tonality, satisfying detail retrieval, and the recreation of a generous sound field." - Audio Esoterica I'm also selling the accompanying McIntosh MX151 at $4,900 ($21,500 new) as well as a pair of brand new REVEL GEM 2's at $9,900 ($19,250 new), for the pair without stands. Be quick, this is seriously good value, ultra high end gear.

  21. Item: [FS] Sanders Magtech Stereo Power Amplifier (black) - under warranty (optional) Location: Inner Sydney Price: $4,000 + posting (one year warranty can be added for $250), $5,600 if bought with my Magnepan 1.7 - price is firm. Item Condition: 9.5/10 Reason for selling: downsizing Payment Method: Cash on pickup or PayPal (+3%) This very well known amplifier does not need much introduction. This particular unit was purchased from Bill Mclean (Sander's distributor in Oz) about four months ago and paid $4,500. It was purchased second-hand, but the first and only owner of this before me was in fact Bill Mclean himself. This used to be his personal power amplifier. I can prove this with my email exchange with Bill, or you can just give him a call. Importantly, Bill is happy to renew the warranty, which has just expired, for another year for additional $250 (Bill has confirmed that this would be transferrable to the new owner). So, in a nut shell, this amplifier is pristine and can be purchased with one year of warranty This is a end game amplifier, with a unique power supply that is said to be almost 100% efficient and whilst being a 900W (4ohm) class AB, it runs basically cold because there is no waste of energy. The sound is super transparent, very dynamic and punchy, and with the blackest background. It goes without saying that this will drive without effort any speakers ever produced. I used it with Magnepans 1.7 but can drive large electrostatic as well as low impedance dynamic speakers with ease. The specs are: Power (Stereo Version) 500 watts RMS per channel into an 8 ohm load 900 watts RMS per channel into a 4 ohm load Bandwidth DC through 100kHz Class of Operation Class AB Input Impedance 100K unbalanced, 1K balanced Input voltage required for full output 2.2 Volts Noise More than 110dB below rated output Gain 26dB THD Less than 0.01% Damping Factor Greater than 600 into an 8 ohm load Voltage Voltage is user selectable for use world-wide. All details here: http://sanderssoundsystems.com/products/amplifiers/magtech-amp Local pickup is preferred but can post as I have all the original packaging. Thanks! Pictures:
