For your consideration, the ultra rare "Spanish Manley" DCM (David Charles Manley) 75+75 Stereo tube amp. There were only 10 of these ever made and this is number 003. It has a polished stainless steel chassis with gloss black acrylic front and side panels. Designed to use either 6CA7 or EL34 power tubes with 12AT7 input and driver tubes. It differs greatly from the standard Manley 75+75 in appearance, tubes used and performance....this one is mo' better. There are individual bias points, so no need to buy matched pairs or quads. The RCA's are silver and the speaker posts are gold. This one sweet sounding tube amp.
Comes with Treasure 6CA7's and Mullard CV4024 (12AT7) input and driver tubes. The power tubes have some time on them while the Mullards are basically new. The original owners manual is included, although it is labeled VTL and there is a schematic, but it is for the standard Manley 75+75. Manley tells me it's as close as they have. The shipping box may be original, but it's not in the greatest shape, so I will double box. The tubes will ship in a separate box.
Condition is very good. There are fine surface scratches, which I suspect were from cleaning, on the stainless steel and acrylic panels. It was like that when I bought it and I haven't added any. Nothing stands out and really can't be seen unless you are up close and personal with bright light on it.
I've never had an issue with this amp and Manley states they have never had one come back for repair. A truly unique and ultra rare tube amp. I've never seen another and I have looked for many years.
Price: $1800.00
Payment: PayPal (add 3%), USPS MO or personal check if I know you.
Shipping: FedEx, cost to be determined.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and thanks for looking.

Would this need special cables or would my Radio Shack cables do the trick?
Also would you consider this to be better quality than an Emotiva amp?Main Rig-Realistic AM/FM Record player 8 track boasting 4 WPC

Yeah, I miss all the really unique stuff I've had a chance to experience. And, that amp is at the top of the list. But, I don't have a spot for it right now. Someone here needs to get their read on and buy this beauty.

*Sigh* I always monkey with my privates to this amp when I stay at Casa F1....
Destination gear. Game. Set. Match.
Buy it and be set for life.
