Description
This listing is for Fully Functional Built Prototypes of our production amplifiers. And for Unique amplifiers that were used to develop and explore circuit ideas.
In all cases, these units are Used, in most cases the wear is minor and barely noticeable. Otherwise the individual listings will detail it.
These amplifiers do not come with supplied tubes, power cords, switchmode power supplies or manuals. If the specifications of the amplifier are equivalent to a current production Kit Amp, then we will state so and link to the information for that amplifier.

Please contact us ahead of ordering, we mostly build with universal power supplies and may be able to modify it to suit your needs.
Warranty: 90 days against defects.
Gary West (verified owner) –
Oh my word! I was not truly prepared for what I just experienced listening to vinyl for really the first time in my life when I added the prototype Phono preamp into my system.
The first album I put on was CTI Summer Jazz at the Hollywood bowl an album I wasn’t as familiar with. The detail and separation was very noticeable. When I put on the second album at one point I got a bit emotional. It was just after the opening harps in “She’s Leaving Home”. I was moved by the fact that song I had previously dismissed as okay suddenly became one of my favorites.
I’m not one who looks back in life a wonders what if. But this experience makes me dream of what ifs.
I’m excited for my next musical adventure. I can’t wait to see what else I’ve been missing.
Thank you so much Jim and Charles
