FS: morgan jones DIY amp (willing to ship worldwide)

This is based on the same project in headwize.

all quality parts: Dale Vishay RN 1/2W resistors, BHC/Nichicon Muse/Solen caps, Hammond case and transformer, Cardas RCA connectors. Volume control is provided by an Elma rotary switch populated with Dale Vishay RN.

Due to the simplicity of the circuit, the amp is hardwired (i.e. no PCB).

I've used this amp with a CD3000 and DT880 phones and it seems very nice to me (obviously subjective topic). The amp is dead silent to my ears even at full volume when no source is connected.

It's surplus to my needs and it has been gathering dusts. I am currently using 3x Mullard gold-pin 6922 and these are fairly new (about 6 months worth of used). The rectifier tube is used is 6x5gt.

The amp has been electrically tested at work (all electrical equipment needs to be tested before it can be used) and it passed without any changes required.

The amp will include the tubes (see above) it's currently using plus 3 6DJ8-family tubes and 1 6X5GT rectifier tube.

Here' are some photos.

I am asking $350 AUD (excluding paypal fees) for it shipped. I am willing to send overseas. When sending overseas, I will cover $25 of the postage (the estimate costs to send it to someone within australia).

I can also deliver for free if you're local to Adelaide with certain conditions.
1. only during weekends
2. your place is between post code 5163 to 5000
3. it's a nice day for a kid to play outside

Please pm me with offers and avoid turning the thread into a discussion. Thanks for looking.

I am confused. Isn't there are rule that states that when selling a DIY amp you have to list out the components, and what each component cost. I don't see such a listing in your posts that includes the costs of the components.

Not to my knowledge but DIY should be sold to recoup costs. I suspect that this amp is either scraping cost or below. Great amp for anyone wanting to try a tube amp..dB

Because it's not a rule. Plus, Aus parts cost are sometimes double US parts cost.
