Fantastic pair of ANK "The Artiste" EL34 Monoblocks

I have had these for several months now and have been using them for my desktop setup. I had never owned a tube amplifier before so my curiosity caught the better of me! They truly sound fantastic but they are a little large to keep around for a desktop setup! :)

When they arrived in my possession I went through the test procedures in the manual and verified they were operating at 400v at the test points. They have performed flawlessly with no issues! The tubes supplied all sound amazing with minimal noise.

Here is the link for the DIY KIT (NOT ASSEMBLED) with inexpensive chinese tubes -

Other items included -

Condition -
Amplifiers are in excellent shape, I did note some extremely minor spots on the chassis, one corner in particular but you have to be looking at it from underneath to really notice it. There was also one spot where a chassis bolt goes on the side, but again not very noticeable.

I will be able to ship no problem, will have 3 boxes with the amplifiers will have 1.5" thick foam all sides with a soft layer for cushion. I have packaged and shipped 100s of high value items over the last several decades. Local pick up is also encouraged. I will also be willing to drive to meet for $100 up to 6 hours round trip.
