Did you notice any difference in sound, lack of noise or anything?
I'll get back to you on that, it might be a few months...I was looking for a decent used surge protector and couldn't resist this deal...probably way overkill.
Hey, @captainbeefheart left you a PM.

I think I am good to go with this one...$300. on local CL

augmented by the THTLPs
Interested in which THTLPs you went with?
Can post a picture of them?..I am thinking about building some for my LaScalas

Looks very interesting, wonder what the parts cost is for this build...?
We have so many tube gurus on this forum (not me)...someone will chime in

Lot's of posts lately about inexpensive (cheap) forum amps and the 6BQ5 or EL84 tubes in triode mode (a la Decware Zen)
Here's a write up on simple construction for beginners:

Any comments?

The "A" version has a combination balanced XLR/1/4" jack inputs. I've used rca to phono jack cables without issues on the "A" (I don't believe they were balanced, others may chime in)
Some of the later A versions were made in China, USA models preferred
The older one has different speaker connections (banana plug/twist on post vs. simple screws)
...and the older version has a mono/stereo switch on the back which was moved inside in the A versions (which necessitated taking the cover off to change switch settings to enable bridged mono)
here's more:

If you haven't read them yet...lot's of posts with forum mystery and intrigue about a little modified D-45 nicknamed "The Duke" owned and passed on by several members (not sure it's current whereabouts) I find them very entertaining, Here's one:

Lots of love for the early B&K ST140 out there...I have not heard one...I am using vintage Luxman and Superphon separates in my second system

While you're searching for the high end classic SS amp, swap in an inexpensive Crown D-45 or D-75 (regular or "A" versions)...they are bulletproof, quiet, cheap and have XLR connections for good grounding...good enough for many studios in the day. I have tried on Khorns and LaScalas with good results.

Not saying they ain’t great but engineered to 402 standards ?
Good point...

Price is in the link: $1,999...a bargain IMO

62 years on the marriage..."good on ya" for having some fun with this while paying it forward (and providing us with some fun!)

IMO, They'll go quick at $1,200. (maybe $1,500 to the right buyer)
Factory full grills on the LaScalas were kinda rare.
What's your location? Post them here in the garage sale section for sure!

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone has just the khorn tophat cabinet available (maybe someone who replaced the midrange or went two way).
Looking for model that incorporated the K-400/401.
I have the baffle/grill and the horn/drivers.
Willing to pay a reasonable price + shipping for the right unit ("B" collar style, oiled walnut preferred but not essential)
I know I could build one. I prefer OE if I can find it.
Please send me a PM to discuss.

3K seems about right... maybe 500-750 shy of optimum.
Only thing better would be to win the lottery...

Thanks for asking.
Ideally I'd like to replicate the period correct upgrade baffle for my '57.
If anyone has one for sale (Or pics) that would be great!
Otherwise any input on modifications required to use a new grill/baffle would be very helpful.
I believe I saw a thread a few years ago, but I can't seem to find it now.
