I'm rebuilding my system over the next 4 months due to losing my music room so I will be selling most of my equipment.
I'm looking for:
NAD C715
Decware mini-Torii
Wavelength Proton
EMU 1616 w/ PCMCIA card
Power Conditioner (BPT?)
I'll be parting with:
Lavry DA10 purchased 6 months ago from Sonic Circus w/ 1m Van Den Hul Optocoupler (sold together) 880 shipped
EMU1212M - well kept always behind a Brickwall
5687/6BQ5 integrated amp -
Apparently the front end on this amp was designed by Gary Dodd of Dodd Audio. The builder is Charles Cicci and I have his phone number. I can do 675 shipped on this with a matched quad of RCA bronze plate 5687, and a matched quad of brand new Genalex (re-issue) EL84. I use an Amplitrex AT1000 to test my tubes. I simply don't have room for this thing in my new space.
Here's what I have from the previous owner, a friend of Charles (a really nice down to earth guy).
"Teflon-insulated wiring, good RCAs, instrument-grade biding posts. PRP non-inductive resistors and a variety of good caps. TKD volume control. Hefty input selector switch.
Retrofitted McIntosh chassis. The tube cage is included.
Awesome input stage, with 5687 tubes. (7044s will also work.). And those are Bugle Boy 6BQ5’s in the output stage. .
Output power is typical for an EL84/6BQ5 push-pull amp, probably a substantial 15wpc.
This amp has a regulated power supply—which is pretty unusual for a power amp stage. It’s built on the heat sink that’s visible on top of the chassis. The power transformer is somewhat oversized, so it has no trouble handling the extra current draw through the regulator.
As for the sound, first of all, it’s the quietest tube amp I’ve ever heard—probably because of the regulated power supply. It isn’t quite as lush as you might expect from an EL84… It’s airier. Vocals have more air around them, and it nevertheless has a characteristic EL84 sound. It does sound a little warmer with the Bugle Boys than with the TAD EL84’s I have. The TADs are also a nice tube. I’ll include either set, buyers choice.
Built by Charles Cocci in Brockton, MA. (He builds a small number of tube amp, preamps and integrateds, and also mods lots of audio gear. He might be better known, except that there’s a fairly small number of us who buy up most of the equipment he builds.) "
