For sale is an awesome pair of Welborne Labs 45 Star Chief monoblock amps. This pair was factory assembled and functions as intended. They are dead quiet. These are 1.8 watts output, which is plenty for an efficient set of speakers unless you are trying to have an outdoor concert. The Star Chiefs are Welborn's top of the line SET amps. They include the following upgrades over the DRD45s: Caddock Foil resistors, Riedon non-inductive wirewound resistors, pure silver solid-core Teflon wrapped wire, a completely redone power supply incorporating a regulated capacitor-choke-fet-capacitor design for the high voltage, ceramic fuses, and NO Electrolytic caps. A film cap is used for the 6N1P's cathode bypass capacitor, a film capacitor bypasses the Ultrapath ASC oil caps. Construction is "top notch" with a heavy aluminum plates on top and solid Bubinga wood base and Cardas 5 way binding posts. Tubes are National Union 45s and Svetlana 61NPs. Components are quality such as Electra-Print output transformers and plate chokes, and Hammond power chokes. Local pickup and a listening session is encouraged; shipping will be two insured boxes about 55 pounds total, with an estimated cost of $65 to either coast. The price is $1,450 plus shipping. If you have ever wanted a pair of these, now is your chance. They don't come up for sale often. Second Amp:
