Shakeydeal Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I am looking at this amp and can get it for 549.00 including shipping. The seller says it is 2-3 watts with EL34s and 4-5 watts with KT88s. Even though the topology is SE, that seems pretty low for output. Any thoughts on if this is worth the money from a cursory glance? And if it will be adequate with LS IIs? https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649778097-custom-el34-se-amp/ This is the builder, maybe someone has heard of him. https://yatesaudio.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo72 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think it is worth more than $549 in parts alone. I personally think 2-3 watts of single ended EL-34 on LS IIs would be magical! If you are in the market for a custom built amp, I don't think you can go wrong at the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I was always want to see them with bottom plate off because I’m a snob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about 40 miles from me-- there's also a set of EL-34 mono blocks down the road that look interesting, also as I'm sure you're aware @henry4841 is building a dual mono "Little Sweetie" that seems no one has called dibs on yet. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/d/seattle-single-ended-el34-monoblock/7524334811.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Well to be honest I was going to use this as an interim amp until the captain has mine ready. I have a buyer for my Allnic amp and just wanted a stop gap solution. The captain tells me mine should be ready to ship very soon, so I decided to pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
