    They are a Wavac...

    The pictures you show has much in common with the SH-833. Are there more pieces to them or is that it?

    I know nothing about them. The picture you gave me to go on would appear to be the output stage. There is a separate power section(s) for each. How long has your friend had them, and where did he get them?

    Looks like it uses an "833A" tube so it's probably one of these two WAVAC's posted above

    HE-833v1.3 150 wpc, mono-blocks $ 76,900
    HE-833mkII 150 wpc, monos w/external pwr supplies $ 150,000

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/833A
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul!
