I appreciate your interest and patience, too. If you have interest in the amp, shoot me a PM and I can tell you the story of how I purchased it directly from a Nobis employee.

I know we can't lean on a Stereophile review too heavily, but this amp is truly a brick shi*house. Their comments about build quality are spot on. It's not fussy, either, which I like. I still use solid state stuff because of its "plug n play" characteristics, but I've had this tube amp for about 15 years and have enjoyed the hell out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Damn it man she is pretty. You have no idea how much I want to try this amp and how much my wife does NOT want me to try it I had a pair of thor 30 watt monos years ago which were the BEST EL34 amp's I had / have ever heard. That sound stays with me and I am always trying to find it again. Everytime I see a new EL34 based amp I chomp at the bit Could it be I have a couple SET amps I am trying to move 1 if I can do that I will hit you up.

I wish I could compare this one to something else, but honestly, I just don't have a ton of experience with tube amps. I can say that what really blew me away the first time I heard this Cantabile is how much headroom it has and how upfront the bass was on my Klipschorns. If you are able to sell an amp and have further interest, don't hesitate to reach out. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Par2 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I had one. I even ran those National tubes in it. Quite the co-inky-dink. Had the Proteus preamp as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidmack Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Since this post a number of years back, I actually started USING this Nobis amp. It sounds terrific and is still available if someone is looking to get into tubes at a relatively reasonable number. I'm looking to get $800 for this amp, picked up in 53560. Here is a link to it working, along with a review written in Stereophile years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQSgH-MJw4c https://www.stereophile.com/tubepower.../992nobis/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
