I'm stoked that she got noticed!! Thanks for sharing Michael The Greek Audio Geek - HiFi Adventures, Tube Audio & Restoration!

You guys know I love my Alan Eaton Amplifiers mono block 45's and Aric Audio Systems 2A3.

You many not know I also had Aries Cerat Mono blocks that ran on 1x845 and 1x814 in each mono block.

But HOLY VACUUM TUBES look at these amps from Aric Audio. I think I would do almost anything for one of these. He has an 845 and a 211 version!!

Some more photos of my Super 845 SET that will be heading out to its new home soon! A also have a Super 211 in the queue that will be coming up in a few weeks. These amplifiers have been updated with high quality Transcendar output and interstage transformers, toroidal for the dual power supplies, and a more efficient power supply overall. Higher quality components are used throughout the amplifier chassis as well- film caps in the cathode circuit, Jupiter Cosmos for the driver cathode, and Jupiter copper foils for coupling to name a few. The MSRP will be adjusted to $14,500 for the new version, over the $12,500 that my original amplifier sold for in 2019.

An 845 SET completed and testing for a client of mine today. The filament supply is huge and very well ventilated, and there are two power transformers, one powers the 6SN7/EL34 triode strapped volt/drive stage while the other provides 1,000 volts to the 845 Triodes. There is a 6CG3 tone delayed warmup for the high voltage supply as well. All components are rated to at least 3KV for this monster amp!

My first completed build after the enjoyable break! A Transcend Push~Pull amplifier with Tier 2 upgrades + balanced inputs in a solid Cherry chassis. While the wait might not be for everyone, I aim to ensure that each client's amplifier will put a huge smile on their face when it arrives- and for many more years to come!
