SOLD - FOR SALE: Donald North Audio Stellaris Headphone Amplifier DNA With Premium Tube Package

Description

This one hurts. Due to an aggressive uptick in my tinnitus, I’ve decided to see if there’s interest in this incredible amp . I don’t listen to it much and would be happy to sell to someone who would be able to enjoy it.

I received this amp from Donald in October of 2023, it has the stepped attenuator upgrade.

It includes the stock tube package which was not used except for the rectifier (more on that below) as well as the following tubes with estimated use. (1) Mazda 6BQ7A driver tube (150-200 hrs), (2) Takatsuki 2A3 power tubes(about 300 hrs), (1) Elrog 5u4g rectifier (150-200 hrs). This Elrog was a warranty replacement from the factory after I bought the Stellaris, it took me months to get it, and is possibly the newest one in the US, since they don’t make them anymore. Please note that I will not sell the tubes separately, as I’ll want them for the amp if it doesn’t sell. They are worth somewhere between $2500-$3000 retail if you can find them.

Price is $9000 to me, all insured shipping costs and any fees are on the buyer. PayPal G&S add 5% to total of amp and shipping cost. Yes I know that’s more than the cost of the fees, but my accountant needs to get paid too.

These almost never come up for sale, especially with what I consider the best tubes to run in this thing, and last I heard Donald still had a 12 month backlog.
