Gryffles Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Item: AM Audio 805 SET Amplifiers Location: 2148 Sydney Price: $3750 $3300 + shipping (FYI shipping from Perth to Sydney was $180 insured with TNT) Item Condition: Very Good Reason for selling: After years of listening to valve amps only I'm trying solid state. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank Transfer, COD Only Extra Info: Purchased via SNA a couple of months ago from a member in Perth for $3900. So I've lowered the price slightly and paid for the freight from WA. These amps are direct coupled and interstage driven which is usually reserved for the most expensive brands. All transformers, except the choke, are Double C Core HiB. These truly punch way above what they sell for here in Aus. No pipe and slippers stuff here, they are fast, detailed, controlled and throw a huge sound-stage whilst keeping the virtues of 48watts of SET intact. The valves have low hours so no worries there. I have tried some NOS valves and they make a good difference, particularly the ECC88 and to a lesser extent the KT66/6V6 (you can use either). Included are Psvane 805, Tungsol KT66 and Genalex E88CC. AM Audio site: http://www.am-hiend.com/product/805m.html There are two small nicks on the top of one of the amps which I have tried to show in the pics.

Mat-with-one-t Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 These are stunners. I had earlier predecessors, which were also amazing. Anyone looking to get into tubes, at this price these are pretty damned tough to surpass.
Gryffles Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 @Mat-with-one-t they are indeed, but I would say that aye lol, so I'm glad you did too! I'm having a listen to some of the tracks from the reference/demo tracks thread and wondering if I'm doing the right thing

Darren69 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Bugger, where a lazy 4k when you need it? More info here http://www.am-hiend.com/product/805m.html Beautiful amps, have heard them a few years back through Osborn's. The PS Vane glassware alone would be exxy. GLWTS. 1
