I’m testing the waters for interest in my Viva Solista tube amp (I believe it’s the MK-I). This beast has been my go to SET amp, but space and time constraints have limited its use. This version allows you to use either two pairs of 845 tubes or one pair of 211s and one pair of 845s (the latter being my preference).The amp will come with the following complement of tubes:
6C45P Pereprov (pair);
6SN7 Psvane CV-181T (pair);
845 Shuguang (pair); and
211 Shuguang (pair) [I may have an additional pair which I’d add if I can find them]. For an an additional $500, I can include the following sets of lightly used tubes:
845 Psvane Mark-T;
211 Psvane; and
211 Sophia Electric. I’m the second owner, having purchased it from a dealer in California. The amp itself has a couple marks and some weathering on the front screws, but overall is an impressive unit. The original owner specifically requested that the lettering for volume knob and number for inputs not be added. I think it provides a cleaner look and the amp is straight-forward enough that you don’t need them. The amp is available for local pickup in the DC/MD/VA area (I don’t have the original packing materials and don’t want to attempt something of this size and weight). If you want to arrange for a packaging service (e.g., FedEx) to box and ship, I’d be willing to deliver it to that vendor. I'd also be willing to consider trades for a solid state integrated amp (e.g., Pass Labs, Hegel). PayPal add 3%.
