Expensive Tube Amplifiers


I see many $4K to over $8K amps on eBay. Who would pay this a of money. A few years ago these amps were 25% of the current cost. I can buy a 'right' vintage amp and rebuild it and likely get same quality sound at these expensive amps for about $500 including parts. The 'right' amp is with quality and larger audio transformers.

There are tube amps that sell for a lot more than $8K! The Wavac SH-833 costs $350K for the pair!

@invalid : Michael Fremer reviewed the Wavac mono pair in his listening room in 2004. It's in the Stereophile archives. He of course swooned over the sound!
