Description: I have been restoring, modifying and scratch building Magnavox/ Mag style power amplifiers for 15 years now. As you can see I kind of went crazy and did a bunch (21 total). Why Magnavox?: Peter Jensen was the lead engineer at Magnavox way back when push pull amps were just coming into fashion. He designed a simple parametric phase invertor circuit that I feel sounds the most open and accurate. I've had the fancy brands and don't think they sound as great as Magnavox so there is my obsession and one justification for my prices. The other is that there is a lot of cuts, shocks, burns in addition to time to produce these unique high quality functional art works. You are buying functional art when you buy one of my amps. If you want a status symbol these probably wont work for you but if you want cut above sound and reliability invest in one of my units. I have sold about a dozen over the years and had no complaints, only happy listeners. Thanks for stopping in and best wishes, Mike Here we got a Magnavox 185 restomod stereo amplifier originally in a console. A bit less fancy than my norm but has a cool industrial look. Modified for 6SN7 phase inverter tubes. I feel 6SN7 are maybe a bit more musical sounding than original 6EU7 type and look cool amongst the other big base octal tubes. Original Heathkit paint on the cage. Electronics gone through and components tastefully upgraded/freshened up for years of wonderful sound and improved safety. Plays nice with solid state or tube preamps. Likes 4 ohm speakers best but produces plenty of clean volume with 8 ohm speakers. No warranties expressed or implied given age and nature of item. This will be well tested once more before pack and ship. AS IS. Comes with pictured chrome top Sylvania NOS 6V6GT output tubes, Sylvania NOS 6SN7 phase invertor/driver tubes and a Magnavox branded strong 6CA4 rectifier tube. This is a heat producing high voltage antique that should be treated like a lit candle when turned on so I assume no liability for damage or death caused by this device. I would put Magnavox amps up against ANY amps in a blindfold sound competition.
