FS: Custom Elekit 8800 Tube Amp and 8500 Tube Preamp with Extra Tubes

I have decided to sell my custom Elekit gear that I built a couple years ago. The setup sounds amazing but it is overkill for my office and I have been rotating in Pass solid state amps I build so these don't get much use. I have decided to move on from tubes.

 

I purchased both kits from DIYAudio and both include the upgrades listed on the website right now (Takman resistors, Lundahl transformers, plus I added in Mundorf M-cap capacitors and upgraded the opamps in the phono). I also did not like how the two pieces did not match, so I had them professionally powder coated Satin black so both pieces match.

 

What you will receive:

- Elekit 8800 with upgrades and Mullard CV4024

- Elekit 8500 with upgrades and Mullard CV4024

- Extra stickers for the 8500

- Manuals for both include the build manuals

- will not be including power cables

- Extra tubes include:

           - Power Tubes of TAD 6l6WGC-STR, Svetlana EL34, Tung Sol KT66, Gold Lion KT77, and Tung Sol KT150

           - Extra Driver/Signal 12at7s (tough to read all the exact info on the tubes) - Pair of GE, Pair of Tung Sols, Pair of RCA, and 2 pairs of Electroharmonix

 

The 8500 preamp can also use 12au7

The 8800 can use a WIDE range of tubes from 6v6 all the way up to KT150. Check out the list on DiyAudio 

 

I think I paid over $3000 for everything including the tubes. I am asking $2500 and I will cover shipping to anywhere in the continental US.

This setup is still available. This is perfect for anyone nervous about trying tubes and having to worry about Biasing. This unit self-biases and all you need to do is put in your two tubes.

 

I have been experimenting with Class A builds from Nelson Pass over the last 2 years and have not been using my tube equipment much.
