Gear for sale

My custom amps and preamps

I am semi-retired, but I do produce a few prototype units, and now and then I have something for sale.  If I have something it will be listed here.  I am NOT taking orders to produce new equipment.  My current designs are being manufactured by Spatial Audio Lab in Utah.  You can see them here. Currently I have: Totally rebuilt Kootenay 120 stereo KT88 amp $3599 SOLD, sorry Amp belonged to a customer who sent it in for a total update and unfortunately passed away in a car accident shortly thereafter.  I updated it and am selling for his estate. It has all VCap ODAM coupling caps, updated high voltage reglated supplies with large heat sinks, added choke in bias supply, updated regulated filament supply for input tube, double the decoupling capacitance of the typical Kootenay 120, all Duelund signal path wiring, and a few more things. Comes with a new quad of the Shuguang Flagship WEKT88 tubes.  If you have your own KT88 tube collection, then I can reduce the price to $3300 if you supply the KT88 quad.  Comes with full one year warranty as a new build would. Older model D Sachs preamp  $1999 SOLD, sorry This is the matching preamp to the amp above.  I have completely gone through it and installed VCap ODAM caps on the main output.  Also modified the DC filament supply to improve it to the final build standard for my old style preamps.  Works perfectly.  Has remote controlled volume and channel level controls.  Comes with a brand new tube set.

One pair of the pre-production version of the 300b amps.

$15,999 US per pair. 

Spatial Audio Lab has the last pair of the pre-production Blackbird 300b mono amps.  They are in the dark case and have the power supply choke on the inside.  These are built exactly as my own personal amps are.  We decided to move the choke to the top panel for esthetic reasons and have a new case manufacturer.  So the two pre-production pairs were for sale and one is gone.  They sound like the production ones.  The production amps sell for $19,995 per pair.  These two pairs will be sold for $15,999, so essentially a $4,000 discount.   Spatial will be posting them for sale on their site shortly.  They will get the last internal minor tweaks to bring them up the final production version next week.  If you are interested you can send me a note, or contact Spatial Audio Lab directly. You can read about the production amps on the Spatial Audio Lab site This is a chance to get a discount of $4,000 a pair for the old case and the power supply choke inside instead of on top.  These amps are literally world class. If you are interested contact me.
