Further Information

Ever wanted to try 300b valves but didn't know where to start? 

 

These monoblocks will get you out of the gate with a supply of valves that will allow you to experiment, have fun and listen to some beautiful music.  All else you need is a preamp and some relatively sensitive speakers.

 

I am selling a pair of 300B Monoblocks  (Audile built in Melbourne sometime around 2005-2008 according to previous discussions).  These utilise 2x300B valves per monoblock outputting around 18W.  These operate as SE Parallel output

 

I had these checked over by a technician in 2022, with no issues found or any issues since.  Moving these on for someone else to try.

 

I currently have these running these with WE 300b reissue tubes, as shown in the amp photo (Not included in sale price).  The included 300b tubes are 4 x Electro Harmonix 300b Gold (these are included in the price) and shown in one of the photos.

 

These sound great and drove both the Klipsch Cornwall IV and Fyne F703.  I also found you can alter the presentation of the sound stage by swapping the EL34 tubes.  The EH 6CA7 produce more bass, and the TAD produced the nicest overall presentation.

 

These amps have 2 switches per monoblock, the switch on top is switched on first and left approx 1-2 minutes to warm everything up, then the 2nd switch on the side near the power plug is turned on to produce the output power.  Turning on the second switch will present an expected dull thud to the speakers (does not cause damage) that will be louder for more sensitive speakers. 

 

One switch on the side was replaced as mentioned by previous owner in the attached post, this doesn't affect anything apart from looking different from the other original switch.  The Hammond transformers have a good reputation and apart from the faded black on top perform flawlessly.  The gold top plate and the wood side panels are visually impressive, they may not win any design awards but given the low price in order to dip your toes in the wonder that is 300b amplification, I think they are great.

 

Valves Included in Sale

4x Electro Harmonix 300b Gold (RRP $700 AUD for 4) these have around 100 hours on them - purchased new by me

2x TAD EL34-STR redbase (RRP $158 AUD for 2) these have around 100 hours on them - purchased new by me

2x Electro harmonix 6CA7 (RRP $100 AUD for 2) these have around 40 hours on them  (these can be swapped in the for EL34-STR) - purchased new by me

2x Philips Miniwatt 6GC7  (RRP $250 AUD for 2) these have around 50 hours on them - These are NOS made in Australia - - purchased new by me

2x 6GC7 US made NOS (cannot see the mode) originally came with the amp from previous owner - unknown hours

2 x JJ EL34L from previous owner unknown total hours

 

Initially i prefer not to ship as I don't have boxes.  But if required I could source some good boxes.  Shipping would remove all the valves and pack them in a separate box.  The amps are not large just heavy.

Happy to exclude some of the valves from the deal, and adjust the price accordingly, if someone does not require them.

I miss these amps, they have a character unlike any other amp, I even got another 300b amp but it’s not the same. 
 

these are built very well and will last a lifetime. If I had the facilities to go back to separate amps/pre I’d buy these back in a heartbeat
