xxmartinxx Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 After many months of going back and forth between this and my Audio Research VSi55, I've made the decision to let this go. It's a fantastic sounding amp for an amazing price. This amp was rebranded and sold at a MUCH higher price with names like Trueharmonix 6550 and Pure Sound AC30. It's currently using Electro-Harmonix KT90 power tubes. It comes with the original Chinese rectifier and 6N9P tubes. I've purchased NOS Sylvania 6SN7 GTA tubes which I will include. I've upgraded the original no-name caps with Jantzen Z-Superier caps. This decongested the amp a bit. The owner who had the amp before me had replaced the original "Alps" (probably a Chinese knock off) pot with something else. I replaced it with a real Alps Blue Velvet pot from Parts Connexion. Over all, it's in decent shape. The transformer covers show some wear and scratching. This is a great amp for someone who wants great tube tone at a fraction of the price. I'd like to get $550 plus $25 shipping. This thing is super heavy and will cost more than $25 to ship. Keep in mind that after shipping from China without the mods and better tubes, you'd pay about a grand plus whatever they'd nail you with for customs and taxes.
