By: |

deHavilland Electric Amplifier Company, proudly announces the launch of the Super40 Monophonic Power Amplifier.

Fans of amplifiers using the Loktal base Sylvania 7N7/7AF7 drive tube rejoice!

 

Washington-based deHavilland Electric Amplifier Company has launched its latest incursion, the Super40 monoblocks, onto the high-performance, mid-priced vacuum tube amplification scene. Outputting 32 watts per channel on 6L6GC tubes or 40 watts on KT88, the Super40 weighs 34 pounds and runs on the low-feedback, push-pull topology.

Niceties of the Super40 includes the use of V-plate 5AW4 rectifier tube, vintage Brimar, Mullard or Amperex (Holland) 12AU7 tubes, carbon composition resistors, paper-in-oil signal capacitors, silver mica capacitors, and the aforementioned Loktal base Sylvania 7N7/7AF7! A built-in soft-start circuit protects the cathodes during power-on. Tube bias adjustment is via the onboard digital bias meter.

All letterings and markings on the amplifier are engraved in aluminum and then anodized via the in-house CNC milling machine.

Retail price is $5,800 the pair.

    So nice! Back to Basics. Since Nagra has lost its Marbles on Pricing, €29000 for The VPA monos! Moi never left Tubes so I got hold of Audio Power Labs Oil Cooled Class A Jewels that mark the Epitome of my Audio Life. Your Amps compete with McGeary Amps in Virginia !
