larryk Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I picked this up a few years ago as a backup amp. I have used this amp with my Cornwalls and it really sounds good with surprising control of the bass for such a small amp. This is one of Jeff Larson's earlier builds .The guy I bought it from had for around 15 years. The output tube is a rather uncommon 1626 tube. They are readily available on ebay etc and are not expensive. It will come with a new set I recently installed. I believe that the amp puts out 4-5 watts and is a great fit for Klipsch speakers. It does have a volume control so can be used with one source without a preamp. Price is $275 plus shipping cost.

joessportster Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If I am not mistaken this is a take on the darling circuit and should develop approx 3/4 wpc ie... less than 1 wpc, But it is a sweet watt, Every veersion of the darling 1626 I have heard were all VERY GOOD. They do sound like they have much more power. GLWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomc Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 What is being used for input tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryk Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 The input tubes are 6J4. I do think this is a variation of his Darling circuit. The 3-4 watts is probably right. I would do ups ground shipping for $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubeHiFiNut Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The Darling circuit produces about 3/4 of a watt per channel - if memory serves. Definitely "flea power" range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
