Extra Info: 

 

The HS-500’s are a Vacuum Tube / Class-D Hybrid Monoblock Power Amplifiers.  Further spec’s below.

 

I purchased these amps new from Lenehan Audio in February 2014, fitted with VSF Duelund capacitors.  I have since added a matched pair of Cryoset treated Electro Harmonix  6H30Pi EB Gold Pin valves in lieu of the standard valves.

These amps where purchased to replace a highly modified Mingda MC34AB amp and have been used to drive my Lenehan ML2’s. They would have continued to remain in my system, had I not taken up the opportunity to try a pair of 200 watt monster valve monoblock room heaters.

 

Includes original packing boxes and manuals.

 

The current replacement price is US$6295 + freight + 10% + other import costs.

 

Happy to demo in Perth metro area.
