Dual mono F5 First Watt Pass clone copy diy 25 wpc Class A 40 watts 4 Ohms power amp

SOLD SOLD SOLD
Dual mono version of F5 First Watt power amplifier
Pass clone copy diy -
amp is 8 Ohms 25 wpc Class A
and 40 watts 4 Ohms

Used as a power amp with a multiple of different types of speakers
- amp played very well with 6 ohm floor-standers!

The final image is before my friends made and fitted for me the face-plate.

It does not run overly hot for Class A, as case has side vents and four [one each transistor] very large heatsinks.
J-fet and Mos-fet in construction.
Amp has board for speaker protection.
Zebrano real wood veneer-to-ply faceplate, with a perspex top.
{Metal front plate avail. thru' CAM, but not supplied}

All parts used are of good quality
F5 is a two Plitron [now Noratel] power transfo amp and very quiet in operation (only noise will be your source and pre-).
Amp is like two power amps in one case, each side has its separate board/ pcb.
It has 96k EACH SIDE m-f of main caps = 192k m-f in total - an unreal amount!
Amp will deal with 2-3 Ohm loads as it delivers sufficient current when needed.

To make one like this amp would cost 550-600$ in parts alone.
Sound is really very good, the like of which you will not get for less than 1,500 dollars. Fact.

Want to hear it? You can have an audition.
Seriously interested, I'll seek to weigh it - 17x7x13 inches at approx. 30+ lbs.

Price is firm at 725$ CAD - incl. Canada shipping;
NO TIMEWASTERS, Please

I can ship it FROM EAST PART OF CANADA, but it's heavy;
USA Buyers need to pay extra 75$ CAD for shipping. ie 800CAD$ in total.

EMT preferred, but F and F on Paypal is possible.
