FS: Amps Amps Amps

[RuSsMaN]

Too many GREAT amps, not doing anything around here, that need to be daily drivers in someones rig.

First up:

Anthem Amp - 1

40 wpc, EL34 push pull. Front end is a pair of 12AU7, and a single 12AX7 - easy biasing, rock solid Hammond transformers, and a simple clean look (black finish). I'll load it with a pair of JAN 5814, and a Tele or Amperex 12AX7. I need to order power tubes - so the buyer can tell me what they want - EH, Ruby, Valve Art or Tesla - and I'll get a matched quad. $old ND13

Jeff Rowland Model 3 Monoblocks

100wpc, stable below 2 ohm. You really can't get any better sand power, unless you start looking at Sim Moon Rocks, or Burmeister and the like. Silver facia, second owner, immaculate sound and condition. Original wood shipping crates included - VERY heavy, very capable amps. $OLD Dave in SC.

You can do it. Just breathe....There. Don't you feel better?:)

We may need to take more aggressive action....

I'll take the Rowlands if Mike passes. They do have XLR connectors, right?

Time to move beyond my "poor man's Krell". ;)

hey guys, that anthem Amp1 is a great tube amp at a great price. If you wanted to try tube amplification, but need something with a little juice to power most speakers adequatly, here's your amp.

[RuSsMaN]

Dave pm'd at 9:42 am on the Rowlands...so he's up on those.

Saddens me, I wish I had several more pair to hook all of you up.

McIntosh info updated, pics to follow later this eve.

[ND13]

I wonder how that Anthem would sound with the ELP in front and driving the Monitor 7As??? Hmmmmmmm

NO NO NO, me need killer table....me need killer table.

Russ, you got a PM coming. Have a proposition

[sucks2beme]

Damn. Go out of town a couple of days, and I miss out on everything!

[amulford]

sucks to be you...:p

[ND13]

Just received the amp, double boxed, including the original box and manual. Looks to be in good order, but I did have to watch the Fed Ex dude drop it about 8" when taking it off the truck, but doubt anything was damaged. I'd give it a solid 7.5-8/10 on cosmetics, but will wait till later on to rate the fuctionality, which I'm sure won't be an issue.

Russ, I noticed you sent E34Ls, where do they need to be biased at. What do you think of trying out some KT77s? The manual said they were compatible. I also noticed you sent 12BH7s(?) in place of 12AU7s, which the manual said would increase performance...well, in which way...wpc or SQ??

Can't wait to get it all dialed in tonight and get the trials started for which pair of speakers will get the Anthem for a playmate..along with which pre, if any because the Sheng Ya doesn't need a pre..

[RuSsMaN]

I'd bias them right at what the manual states, What does it say again? I forget. The 34L can handle a higher plate voltage, but I've never run them 'hot'.

Yeah, the matched pair of 12BH7's will offer a little more gain, the sq about the same as the JAN 5814's I was going to send you.

Talk to me on the cosmetics, I don't recall anything being wrong with this one.

[ND13]

Nothing major at all. Plus 1 sent to Shackalicious. I'll get er cleaned up , mainly just a little dust, which I'd expect from a tube rollers amp. Plus, I only had about 10 minutes with it before putting it back in the box and taking it home. I'll let ya know how I like it in the next few days. I've got a good feeling about this amp being special with a couple of speakers I have.

Now, if only the delivery fairy would be here today with the LSi9s I bought from Troy...then I'd really be in business.

What about the KT77s?

[RuSsMaN]

You know how much 77's will cost you?

[RuSsMaN]

I forgot JJ was remaking them. I wouldn't waste the money, personally.

[ND13]

I had just heard good things about them in the TAD-60s, I thought.

[whitetruk]

[RuSsMaN]

You found a tube in the packing material? What is it?

[whitetruk]

jan 6x4wa

any help??

[RuSsMaN]

Just throw it in your audio stash, or karma it away. It's not worth the cost of shipping to be perfectly honest. Thanks for mentioning it though!

Cheers,
Russ

[whitetruk]
