.... and the bryston 3B will soon be replaced by two Electrohome PA100Mk1's! (very, very rare) soundt/afro.gif ....

Greg,
did you get the Electrohome's back from the tech? if so, can you give us a run down on the sound?

bolly- 09-01-2006
I did get them back Scot, but, I've had to take them back twice now, iron out a few wrinkles I suppose. I've only gott a couple hours on them. sad.gif

What I did hear was pure sweetness, more to follow. soundt/afro.gif

Bolly,

That system of yours is turning into the downsized version of my " Dream System". Let´s see:

Bolly´s System----------------------Hifi_Nut´s Dream System

Tannoy 12" Monitors---------------------------Tannoy Westminster Royals
Electrohome PA100Mk1's amps---------------Audio-Note Ongaku amp
Thorens TD-166 MKII--------------------------Thorens Reference.

All the ingredients are there, just in a smaller scale. soundt/action-smiley-035.gif

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of them, those are bloody cool amps.

hifi_nut- 09-22-2006
How old is that amp´s chassis, Greg?

It looks as though it could have gotten out of the assembly line just yesterday.

Little envy, starting to creep in, here. sad.gif

here's a cut/paste from the auction description of the only one I seen sell on ebay, about 6months ago...


"This amp uses a partridge WFB/.95 Partridge output transformer , a pair of British KT-66 output tubes, a 6SN7, a 12AU7 and a 5V4. The circuitry employed is the famous Williamson triode Class A and is rated at 15 watts RMS and a frequency response flat from 10 -100000 cps. Output impedance is 4,8,16, 32 ohms This is the last and rarest version issued - GOLD color with the rare potted power transformer not availalble on the cream and chrome versions.. It was available for less than a year in 1959. Personally, I think sound quality is better than the Marantz 2 or any of the McIntosh mono blocks."

..BTW, she sold for $1700, and she wasn't in as nice shape as mine. biggrin.gif
