Anyone listened to a Wavac?


I am curious to know if anyone has heard, or owns a Wavac amplifier, and, if so, what their impression is.

The Wavac SH833s with three power supplies per side were incredibly good. They cost $350K!!! I decided to biamp with them. Just kidding!
Thanks guys for the nice comments of our 2 CES WAVAC rooms. We introduced many new models including the new T1 transformer-coupled linestage that is the best I have ever heard.....but as the US importer,I certainly have a bias on this topic. :-)

Yes, many Wavacs are very high priced; however, we offer models starting at $5k (MD-811) providing 15w/ch.

As an aside, the HE-4304 uses the 4304 triode tube.

If any of you have questions, please contact me directly.

Jim, 4304 = 834 - just different basing between them, if anything. it's a cylindrical plate triode that had grid and plate pins, right? Well designed for A2 operation (as is the norm with the IIT/shishido set up of most Wavac stuff I think.) Wish I could afford it. ;-)
