Further information: If I'm going to sell the power amps, I might as well sell the pre-amp. RRP: https://krispyaudio.com.au/products/manley-jumbo-shrimp-preamplifier.html Edit: it seems I've done myself a disservice by linking to the original Shrimp. Mine says "Shrimp" on the front panel, but it is the later "Jumbo Shrimp" spec, which is not just the RF remote control, also but includes the interstage follower board. So, the valve complement is a pair of GE JAN 12AT7, a pair of GE5670 and a pair of Sylvania 7044s. I have spares of all of those (or equivalents) that I'm happy to pass on. Correct specs are here: https://www.manley.com/hifi/mspr The RF remote control works throughout the entire house, so you can put it in your pocket, go for a walk and crank it up from the backyard. I'm the second owner, since 2010 or so. I've used it happily with solid state and valve amps. Plenty of drive and doesn't mind what cables you use with it. Happy to audition with your amplifier.

Further information: Are you a sucker for great industrial design? Do you own your own coal-fired power station? (Just kidding, I think they only pull about 170W each.) Are your kids old enough to not play with high-voltage shiny things? My beloved Manley Mahis are for sale. (https://www.manley.com/hifi/mahi) These are serial numbers 445 and 446. RRP, for reference: https://krispyaudio.com.au/products/manley-mahi-monoblock-amplifiers.html Purchased new in 2012 from Trevor Lees, I've never really had an appropriate loungeroom to have them set up permanently, so they often come out in autumn, help me listen to a few LPs and then go back into their packaging for a few months, while I dream about my ultimate room setup. In between then and now, I've slowly got around to getting married and putting kids on the agenda. Unfortunately shiny little glass envelopes full of heat and high voltage are not conducive to child safety, so that ultimate setup is going on the back burner. The adjustable negative feedback helps move the soundstage to suit your room and listening position and being able to switch between Ultralinear and Triode output is great if you're experimenting with different speakers. They're quiet, not over the top with "valve warmth" and very pleasant to listen to. All the valves (tubes, in Manley parlance) are in good nick and I will include a couple of GE JAN 12AT7s in case the purchaser would like to experiment. Will also include some spike feet to sit them on. I am going to list some other items, so please PM me if you're interested in combining postage or auditioning them together. Happy to take some non-potato photos if you want to see something in particular. Photos:
