It should be well under $1000 for you, and you get a tertiary wound special transformer for cathode degeneration and VERY LOW high order distortion. Just a 2nd and and a third shows up on the SA with slightly dominant 2nd. Kinda looks like MacIntosh amp windings but with SE design. And so you get real power too at 10W/ch, more than a 300B, but cheap tubes: 6N1P and EL-34 are inexpensive to obtain. There is distortion cancellation going on like the Mac amps did, and it looks clean in the photo of the measurement.
I would like to hear it. 6 week's lead time and is fully built. I have an interest in perhaps buying it, but it is an integrated amp only and I don't want a preamp switch and volume control in the path, so modifying I would do myself for my purposes eventually. Or make a special request to jumper over.
