Hi,

 

Is this 8ohm version?

 

Cheers.

Hi,

 

Yes, it is an 8 ohm model. The manual says it is also fine for 6 to 12 ohms too.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

The Amp is rated at 35 watts per channel and the tubes are a mix of EL34's and 6SL7's.

Hi, I have a buyer in Melbourne and the Amp is to be picked up tomorrow.

 

Thanks for all the messages and offers, it is a terrific Amp and I'm already feeling a bit of regret...

 

Cheers

Great sounding amp, I have the "Trinity" and love it too!

Yes a bargain.  Just received my Topaz from Earle two days ago.  Special edition with KT150 valves and many other upgrades.  Sounds wonderful.

Could you share more detail about your amp? what's the upgrade ?

very interested!!

[woogie59]

No problem.

 

Essentially upgrade from KT120 to KT150 tubes but with the following upgrades. 

 

Specifications:

Headphone output 6.4mm socket

4 and 8 ohm speaker outputs

Upgraded coupling capacitors(mundorf)

Upgraded resistors in the bias network

Upgraded power supply circuit and capacitors

Black chrome(graphite) transformer covers

Black stain birdseye maple wood finish plinth

 

I saw a custom job he had done with the black covers and the black stain.

It appealed to me as it goes so well with my black equipment.

Note, each of the above increases the price, especially the bling, so be prepared.
