Silk Audio MC-13S EL34 or 6CA7 Tube Integrated Amp (from same factory as Yaqin)

Silk
Audio MC-13S

 

 

About
the amp:

 

The
EL34 family of tubes is known for their midrange smoothness, warm bass and open
airiness.  The MC-13S embodies these
qualities in a simple and elegant chassis design with a lighted VU meter for
that special retro look.  Optionally, the
MC-13S can be equipped with the Blue Glass 6CA7, which preserves all the
midrange smoothness of the EL34B but adds tight bass control and slightly
better high frequency for even better air and details.

 

Please
email to arrange for the optional upgrade ($30 extra) to Blue Glass 6CA7.  Also, please let us know your preference of
one of two color schemes (Black or Silver) as in the pictures.
