stereonut Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) SOLD Item: Leben CS600 Tube Amp Location: Perth Price: $3700 + freight and insurance. Payment Methods: Bank Deposit, PayPal (plus fee), Cash – Pickup. Reason for Sale: Just too many amps and impending house move. Wife says CLEAR!! Item condition and description: Excellent. More Info: Due to an impending move I’m thinking of selling my Leben CS600. I brought new from Soundlabs about 6 years ago and has all original packing. I’d estimate I’ve only used for around a year in all that time, mainly due to my Shindo 300b and Sun Audio 2A3 amps. I tweaked the speaker terminals to get rid of those awful spade lugs that the EU require to sell in Europe. Even Leben came back to me saying they were totally unnecessary, useless and a problem**. This is the response I got direct from Leben re the speaker terminals: “In fact, the plastic guide is no meaning/useless and even disturbs a perfect insertion of spades sometimes. We sometimes remove the plastic guide for easier use. The following valves will be included: 1) 4 x Sovtek 5881/6L6WGE - original in Leben 2) 4 x vintage 5881 – 3 x Tung-sol and 1 x Rytheon - purchased as matched 3) 4 x Russian 6n3cE. The ones Jeff Day raves about. NOS hardly used 4) 4 x Mullard/Philips EL34 - purchased secondhand on SNA so can’t vouch for life expectancy. My favourites. 5) 4 x Leben supplied 6CS7 in amp. 6) 4 x Haltron 6CS7 - Pretty sure these are a Japanese Matsushita NOS - hardly used 7) 4 x Rytheon 6CS7 – NOS and unused Edited December 5, 2019 by stereonut 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
