A 12000 euro amp

[beaux]

Hi,

Check this 12000 euro amp out. There are so many $10k amps popping out these years. They come from workshops. Actually, I doubt if they are really worth the price. (I am only able to upload 3 pics.)

Angstrom Audio Laboratories is back at it again with a statement level Headphone Amplifier of uncompromising standards. MSRP $13,750. 

Power Output 3,5 watt per channel

Dual Mono Power Supply

weight 35 Kg

Full Regulated Power Supply 12 Tubes( 6 x channel)

2 ECC802S input/driver stage per channel

2 6CG7 double triode in triode composite Circlotron operating

Response Frequency 12 hz to 150 Khz

Output is in Current

Output impedance 10 Ohm to 3 Kohm

Distorsion 1% @ 20 Hz to 20 Khz

 

 

OMG! Response Frequency 12 hz to 150 Khz.  Is it for human or aliens?

Doesn't matter, it look cheaper than any Chinese made at 1/10 the price internally.

There is only one word for it - UGH. What a mess.

[Tinkerer]

That's a shit ton of tubes and transformers. Looks like a mainframe module from 1956.

i like the look of it. if that's a modushop enclosure as someone else said, they did a damn good job of styling and photography. would need to see it in person next to something like a Nagra. the perf board internals are weird though. even if building a one-off you'd be better off etching a copper board or using a blank single sided board. the tolerances on those perf boards are usually really bad and i'd be very worried about the possibilities of shorts or arcing with high voltage

[spritzer]

When you say it, that looks like a steel Modushop chassis with a new top plate and wooden side panels.  Cheapest possible crap then... 

The perf boards are just retarded.  I mean why would you do that, there is no good way to mount the tube sockets compared to a proper pcb with large slots to securely mount them. 

Ohhh and a RK27 volume control in a 12000€ amp?  Are you fucking kidding me?

Read your welcome PM. It'll save you a lot of grief.

Not a great first post!

I think this unit is Dillan unit from Head-fi ? Possibly 

[Hopstretch]

Nah they backed out of the deal for him to review it.

That's a non production prototype unit. The Angstrom stuff sound pretty good. Didn't Nick have a custom headamp built by these guys back in the days on the other site to drive his R10's?
