[WTB] SW51+ 220V

I missed 2 or 3 of these last month apparently, but alas i'm just starting my search so i'll see what's out there.

Looking for a 220V Zampotech SW51+, I'm based in Australia but can get it shipped within NA if need be, a small tube complement would be the icing on the cake!

 

Looks like you're trying to buy used and may be looking for a 220V version. But if you decide to go with a new 120V unit, we are able to ship to Australia at this time. If you're interested, please email us.

You're right! I've amended my post to show the required voltage. Thanks Zamp.

 

Here's one (assuming 230V works): https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/shortest-way-51-sw51-230v.52308/

 

That's within range for Australia. My SW51+ says 220v on it. We used to call our mains power '240'. It has come down over the years but in some areas can be higher to account for voltage dropping over distance.

Also, holy f**k. That's almost $900 AUD before post!

 

I have a SW51+ in NZ and also a Liquid Platinum, I'd consider selling. Sort of similar sounds.

 

I've heard a LP and didnt love it, but if you want to move the SW51+ swing me a message

 

I've messaged this seller but yes it's pretty expensive Hopefully i can find one a bit less $$$.

I'm a philistine when it comes to tubes, are these any good?
- stock tubes
- Miniwatt (mullard) ef184
- Ultron ef184
- Redifusion ef184

 

i'd try those rebranded mullards first.

are those what the amp comes w?

when i got to demo the SW+, i was given telefunken and some strange rebadged Phillips tubes from Brazil (?).

The teles were too linear, just like I've heard them in the Crack, just like I've heard them in the SFD-1, just like they will prob always be to me in anything lol. I loved the Phillips tho, they had crunch, bite & a gorgeous midrange.

never heard a mullard tube, but i would put money on actual miniwatts being good.

 

Stock tubes are the best on SW51+
