Trio W-41, classic Vintage Valve amp, 18 W
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2016 7:01 pm
Hi,
I'm selling my vintage Trio (that's the high end brand of Kenwood) W-41.
It's a vintage valve amp from the mid sixties.
It has been serviced, by the previous owner, last year (by a british guy - Retro Amps, in newton abbot. he replaced faulty components, but didn't change all the capacitors).

It produces 18W for 8 or 16 ohms speakers (4 ohms FORBIDDEN ! And never turn on a valve amp without speakers connected to it !).
No "hum", no problems. Though, keep in mind, even if its well built like, it will need a service every few years (5 +/-).
It plays very well, and you'll get that charming vintage valve sound.
I got a owner manuel (well a scan).
It's a vintage classic, even the guys from 45rpm, who are really mean, have them in their listing.

I'm selling it, because i got my hands on a Rogers Cadet 2, that i got fully recapped and restored to its former glory, by London Sound, the specialist of the Rogers Brand, for a fortune...
well, compared to the price i'm selling this sweet little amp.
A mere 550 euros.
Of course you're welcomed for a listening cession, you can bring your speakers to test the marriage, your DAC, etc.
(Unless it's for using it in a bedroom, sensibility of the speakers should be at least 90 db).
Cheers,
François.
