Will Vincent builds amazing amps. He’s made hundreds and hundreds of Dynaco ST70 amps and Baldwin amps. After a few years’ hiatus, Will has started making Baldwin amps again. (He loves building amp but doesn’t like dealing with the internet. Smart man.)Here’s one of his brand-new rebuilt Baldwin amps that are very popular with Klipsch lovers and other owners of hi-efficiency speakers because the amp is totally quiet. 25 WPC. Will puts in new foil and oil coupling caps, new filter caps and new cathode resistors. He uses a pair of balanced output transformers. As originally built by Baldwin, balanced output transformers weren’t necessary because one channel was use for bass notes in an organ, and the other channel was used for everything else. Will has a large stock of Baldwin amps, and because of this, he can test and choose balanced transformers for making a stereo amp. All tubes test as new on a TV7 tester
Four 6L6GC output tubes
Two 5AR4 rectifiers
Two 12AX7A Will’s restoration work is second to none. Transformer covers are powder-coated grey. No rattle-can paint jobs here. Will runs each amp for weeks at a time before shipping to make sure everything works just as it should Amp has two level controls if you wanted to use it without a preamp direct to a cd or other source. This is a helluva amp, especially at this price. $750, plus shipping to the CONUS and paypal fees. I’ve sold lots of audio equipment online, and I have impeccable, 100%-positive feedback on all the audio sites under the username, Kolledog.
