Eventually I will put a store together here, but in the mean time here are a few things that are available now.
Cosecant N2 came from all the response we had at RMAF 2019 from the Brick N2. Like the Brick N2 (also available) we have an isolated USB interface so none of the noise gets into the audio section. We have an NOS hybrid 24/96 dac with a new reclocker and a new USB controller with a large buffer. We are using the new ODAM coupling caps in the Cosecant N2 and a completely reworked motherboard. I don’t have any upgrades available for the Cosecant. I have enough transformers to do 2 more Cosecants new (this one is sold) but I can make the last 2 as follows: Standard Nickel/Cardas wired $3500 (any wood you want), Cobalt/Cardas wired $4500. The Cobalt output has 10x the inductance and therefore is a lot more dynamic than Nickel is, it is also very expensive and the last of these. The Cosecant above is a decked out USB HS3 version that I made only a few of. This has the Quotient module in it (32/384) and has a custom power supply. It’s basically been sitting in a box since 2018 and I found it the other day (list is $4500) $3500. The wendge front is really stunning. I have other wood just as good for the other two N2 I have available.
Elara single ended amplifiers new for 2022. Shown here is a Silver 45 amplifier with optional wood front panel. Like the Cyllene (previously Corona) amplifiers these can be made with several output tube choices: 45, 2A3, 6A3/6B4G, 50, PX4 and 300B. I still have a pretty good stash of MagneQuest output transformers available for this amplifier in Copper and several grades of Silver. One set of Cobalt/Silver left as well.
Mars 8W 300B Custom Amplifier using the RCA 5693 Audio Pentode and the RCA 5690 rectifier with Silver Outputs. So during this virus I have had some free time to do some of the things that are fun in my job. The original Cardinal used the RCA 5693 as the input driver tube so I had a number of these. I also had these super cool 5690 rectifiers which were suppose to be on the Trition Silver, but because of the metal work that didn’t happen. So this is a tiny amplifier 10” wide by 8” deep, RCA’s on the back, both 8 & 16 ohm taps. The amplifier has a lot of gain, a little less than a volt will drive these home. Mono blocks come with Shu Guang Super 300B Matched Pair, Select input and rectifier tubes. $17,500 Pair These are in stock and ready to ship.
These are pure silver wound output transformers and super high quality parts throughout.
If there is a tube you have been yearning for in a custom amplifier, contact me and we can talk about it.

Triton Signature Silver 300B Amplifiers. This pair was made for RMAF 2019 and have basically been sitting in boxes since then. These are the highest quality amplifier I have ever made. The custom silver wound transformers are by far the best available in the world. The amplifier can reach power levels up to 15W. Three rectifiers are shipped with the amplifier: 5R4GYB (10W), CV378 (12W), GZ34 (15W). With each rectifier the high voltage increases and the therefore the power does as well. The front panel is ebony with pearl inlay. The power supply of course is all MagneQuest IRON and Black Gate capacitors. Retail $45,000 pair, available now $30,000 pair.
Duetto V5, Silver Edition: So after I made a couple of these in copper, I checked stock on our silver wire with MagneQuest head honcho Mike LaFevre and we came up with silver outputs. This is a stereo 8W amplifier using upgraded parts and shipped with NOS input tube selected and rectifier and Psvane WE style 300B matched pair in their nice box. That is the actual amplifier in the picture. The amp is 8W and has both 8 & 16 ohm output terminals.The front is Rosewood and that is real pearl inlay. I do have other woods if you would like something different: $20K
These come with new matched pair of Western Electric 300B. Copper versions starting at $5000.

New Callisto USB DAC with VT135 tubes, this silver USB DAC is based on our N2 NOS technology. Isolated USB with a new controller and 20x the buffer space and a new reclocker powered by two low jitter audio oscillators. External linear power supply. Available now $10,000. This is an updated version of the Silver Brick. We have enough silver outputs for only 2 more of these and then that’s it.
Brick N2, after RMAF 2019 there was a lot of talk about this product. At the USB connector is a USB isolator which then goes to the Microchip processor with 20x the buffering of the TAS1020. The processor enumerates at 24/96 (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96KHz sample rates supported) with low jitter dual oscillators and full reclocking before it reaches the NOS DAC chip with resistor IV. The DAC output is then directly coupled to the 12AU7A reactor follower output buffering the NOS DAC and cap coupled to the RCA outputs. $2000. Sorry no more N2 upgrades available for the Brick.
Like the Cosecant we have limited amount of new units available due to the output inductor being made by MagneQuest and they are no longer in business. Eight Left!
