Butler Audio TDB-5150 5-channel 150 WPC hybrid tube/SS amplifier silver mint

Mint Butler Audio TDB-5150 5-channel home theater amplifier with unique 6SL7GT tube-driven circuit with solid-state output. This beautiful amplifier with 150 WPC drives virtually any speaker load with grace, finesse and guts - and will transform your home theater experience, particularly if you've been listening to a HT receiver or a solid-state bargain multichannel amp. The TDB-5150 marries the virtues of high-power solid state with those of refined push-pull tubes.

Am selling only because I've gone to active speakers for my HT rig and no longer require a multichannel amp. Superb condition and cosmetics. This amp is currently back-ordered at the manufacturer!

The tubes are DC-coupled to the output stages with zero negative feedback; each channel has independent AC secondaries and rectifiers with 20,000 uF/channel filtering; DC fault/short circuit protection circuitry; diagnostic blue LED for each channel (visible through faceplate); beefy, gold-plated RCA connectors and binding posts.
