For sale is Response Audio Modified Jolida 3205 Extreme with Clarity caps. Purchased directly from Response Audio about 18 months ago. It can be used as integrated amp or power amp. The switch labeled balance is used to convert it from integrated to power amp. When the switch is up it runs as integrated amp and when it is down it is power amp. The right most input (labeled tuner) is used for power amp mode.

Review of the older Extreme with Soniccap - http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0307/bella_extreme_3205.htm

Unit that I am selling is similar except when I purchased it Soniccap's were not available so Clarity MR caps were used by Response Audio.

Has taps for 4/8ohm speaker, will work with 16ohm speakers also. Currently, used to drive Zu Druid V speakers.

Supported Power Tubes: EL34/KT77/6CA7, KT88/6550/KT90
preamp/splitter tubes used: 12ax7 and 12at7


Tubes included with the sale are - standard Svetlana EL34, 12at7 and 12ax7 provided by Response Audio, Penta Labs KT88 and TungSol 6550 tubes.


Price - $1,000 + shipping, no paypal fees, the amp is heavy so would prefer local sale 08540

    Thx Bikerboy.

    I have 2 other tube amps (both SET) and this one get's used the least.

    I am not sure what is going on but I am not getting any alerts when folks post in the thread so if I do not respond please send me a PM.

    Set.....mmmmmmmm

    They are hard to replace once you get them, but they are a pita to match properly for those of us who do not favor horns.

    The speakers that I use the SET amp's with is Zu Druid V.

    The first SET amp is the Ming Da 3000 abse integrated with 805 power tubes

    the second is 2a3 base from small Canadian company Triodelab which is straight power amp and the preamp that I use with that is Dodd Audio's 6h30 battery power.

    How do you like your 845 SET amp?
