For sale is an extremely unusual single ended 71a tube amplifier by builder Radu Tarta. I commissioned this amplifier from Radu last September and have been enjoying it since then.At .75 watts per channel this represents the outer fringes of the flea watt, low power single ended world. The 71a is low power but is a superb sounding tube, and this amplifier is a no-holds-barred build with top shelf components including C3m driver tubes, vintage Tamura Tamradio output and power transformers, Rod Coleman filament supplies, clarity caps, TKD volume control, NOS James Millen tube sockets, panel meters and the list goes on. I am including a rare set of very fine Arcturus blue glass 71a globe tubes as well as a nearly new in box pair of Hytron ST 71a tubes. This amp deserves the best tubes it can get and I feel these are the best. More details and impressions of this amplifier can be found on my hifi website at: http://www.glowinthedarkaudio.com/radu-tarta-71a.html Suffice to say that of the 30+ tube amplifiers Ive owned over the years, this is unquestionably at the very tip top of the fidelity ladder. It is true that you will need efficient speakers to fully enjoy this amplifier, but if you have 96 db/wm or more it will be satisfying. My speakers are 95-96 db/wm and I and those who have heard it have found the amplifier to be well suited to them in a small to mid-sized dedicated listening room using only the onboard volume control. This is a very special amplifier and you wont see the like of it again anytime soon. Ships in three boxes. Local pickup in the Washington DC area is always welcome! As always, thanks for looking and questions welcomed.
