The tube complement includes :
  • 2 NOS RCA cleartop 6CG7
  • 2 NOS gold-pin Sylvania 6DJ8
  • Lightly used quad Electro-Harmonix KT88 output tubes

For those not familiar with the Superamp, the beauty of this self-biasing amp is the wide range of output tubes which can be used in it: 6550, KT88, KT77, KT66, EL37, EL34, 6L6, and 6V6. Here are the manufacturer’s specs:
Power output (RMS) 15W RMS in triode mode into 8 ohms
Frequency response 15Hz-20kHz +/- 0.5dB
Gain -91dB
Input impedance 150K ohms
Sensitivity 1.5V
Power requirements 165W maximum, 80W stand-by

This AE-25 was factory assembled by Cary Audio. The original MSRP for this amp was $1200 assembled.

Here are the pictures (this is actually of a cosmetically identical amp with different tubes, which has been sold. The amp currently for sale is in just as good condition as this one):
