Shanling SP-80 Vacuum Tube Monoblock Amplifiers, upgraded, Tung-Sol EL 34B
This is a lovely pair of monoblock integrated tube amplifiers from Shanling. Each unit contains a preamp and amplifier. Push-pull pentode design based on EL-34 type tubes. I'm the original owner. After I got them I took them to the audio expert Bill Thalmann at Music Technology and told him to replace every component he thought would make a difference. He did, and it did... 38 rectifier diodes replaced, stock caps replaced with Auricaps, input coupling caps also replaced, and plug-in circuit connectors replaced with hard wiring. Input on each side is a single RCA plug. So you don't have to individually adjust the volume on each side you can select one unit to be the master and it controls the other. The master remembers the volume setting last used. Outputs are for 4 and 8 ohm speakers. Super distinctive styling that will be noticed for sure; a cross between Deco and Fritz Lang's Metropolis. You can't not notice them. They don't look like your average audio component. The power tubes are Tung-Sol 34B's, and the pre-amp tubes are 6SL7's. I will include the original Shanling EL34's. The Tung-Sol's are well burned in but they don't have a lot of hours on them. See the reviews in 6moons audio reviews and Stereo Times for lots of detail and appreciation on these monoblocks.
