Madman1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oliver Sayes 45 amp in walnut base. Only had a short time, great with Lascala, Khorn Altec and or bi-amping . I’m in Chattanooga Tn and I’m willing to meet someone in any of the 4 major cities within 2 hours from me. It can be demoed here and sounds incredible with a pair of zu speakers I have. I have the packaging that Oliver shipped it to me in. This is designed to use a preamp but my buddy recently tried it on his Altec 605 without a pre and say that it was the best amp he’s ever tried including his 2a3 monoblocks. I also used it driven by a node and got sufficient volume for the zu in my large open living space. This isn’t Oliver’s basic build it’s all premium parts. Below is the description from Oliver. The details, it’s a single ended 45 amplifier with 6n7 driver and 80 rectifier with ~1.7v input sensitivity for ~1.5 watt output. Parts are finemet core output/choke transformer, film power supply/cathode bypass caps, copper foil/paper/oil coupling capactors, carbon composite resistors, Teflon sockets, $1900 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman1 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Christmas week bump. Moved the 45 to my garage to try out on my modified Cornwalls, totally shocked by the sweetness and volume that this combo is producing in a large oversized 2 bay garage with high ceilings. The Cornwall will probably always be kept in my garage, but this is too nice of an amp to be kept for garage duty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
