@mwb1 you never even tried it? I mean yeah, you should try it before selling. How else would you know which amp to keep?
New Dennis Had amps
Dennis Had was the chief engineer/designer at Cary audio and is responsible for bringing back single ended amps in the US. Since his retirement he has been making boutique amps and selling them on eBay when he has one to sell. The Firebottle KT-88 is a single ended pentode amp that can take a huge variety of tubes. I love mine. He has also been selling a 300b SE amp. Looks like he has a bunch more models in the pipeline.

There’s a huge range of prices ranging from the $1500 “Kleen Sweep” using what looks like 6bg6 tubes up to the $8500 PSE 300b amp. There is also a SE 46, 6v6, and even a 7c5 amp in the mix as well.
It’s so nice seeing someone building for the love of it. He only builds what he likes and doesn’t need to make a living at it. Truly every DIY builder’s dream:)

@tinear123 you could also try posting on the audio aficionado site. He is known to read the posts there. He has also sold stuff there but you have to be a paying member to access the for sale forum. I don’t think he has anything posted there right now. |
@jafant I get the idea that he wanted to retire. Running a business is a lot of work. Now he sets his own schedule, does what he wants, and makes a few bucks on the side. Not a bad way to live! |
