TOCA SECA 20W

chrisb

Up for sale as it is no longer getting the amount of use it should. Will float it here first due to many admirers on this site (rightfully so in my opinion) . Marble faced model, this was overhauled by quickie and still looks in as new condition. I have some spare output transistors (correct me if thats wrong Paul). Will be supplied with a passive pot which is a panasonic for audio attenuator and single input. Pictures on request. This is without doubt the best power amp i have owned regardless of price.  £950.00 is a steal.

A super cooled class A++ with turbo no less, and shinny knob. wooow  ^:)^

chrisb

No replacement men. A sensible price though don't you think? I don't think the linked amp would do at all.

Pah. It doesn't even have a marble face!

Colin

Hamerite paint will do it, like dark green, Dave.

This is a 300W mono Chrisb

Do i detect some sarcasm, lowest form of wit you know.

Colin

Sorry no, none at all , I run out of stone and painted Daves

Docfoster

Perspex works well Col...

chrisb

Only joking Colin, and i do stand by the best amp regardless of cost.

Colin

Nice smoke to mmm nice

uglymusic

That's going to be a very nice amp for someone. Good luck with the sale, Chris.

Alan

I can't. Doesn't mean I wouldn't, though.

Someone just stick it on your mortgage already!

(You know you want to)

chrisb

Just like to add that i have used this with quad 57's ,impulse lali and h2's some ipl and pmc transmission line. Other more difficult to drive speakers and it just does it's stuff to perfection

chrisb

875 quid

chrisb

800 last go before boxing up till required again.

uglymusic

Go on... Give the man some wedge.

You'll love it!

Colin

Dave you buy it, it will fill you new home with rich music and reduce your heating bill.

uglymusic

No. No. I can't have the Green Goddess feeling abandoned, can I?

Colin

Give that to Alan or you friend Ricky 

chrisb

To be honest men,if i could have the the same amp in a box more appealing to the missus i would. It is without doubt the best solid state or valve amp i've owned or heard ,simple

uglymusic

Give that to Alan or you friend Ricky 

Ricky???

Brumjam

Hi Chris. Is it just the front panel that your missus doesn't like?

Brumjam

Timing isn't right for me financially otherwise I would have bought this to try.......although I suspect my wife would kill me for bringing something that looks like a head on crash between a kitchen worktop and a metal box into the house.

chrisb

Yes that's the problem, i can honestly say it sounds an awful lot better than it looks. My missus thinks more along the lines of grave stone

Alan

James, mate... make it happen!

Chris, whack it in a ventilated cupboard, or the loft maybe? Perhaps get serious & put a doylie on top?

quickie

The front panel bolts on to the inside of the heat sinks and could be replaced with say an 8 or 10mm piece of alloy, then it will look like the one I have here

Paul.

chrisb

Colin,s on it

God no way, get hot bum phew.  )

Yours is not my definition of a hot bum, Col  :-B

chrisb

Ah it returns to me tomorrow

quickie

Nice one Chris.....

Docfoster

Chris,
Are you hanging on to it...?

chrisb

Yes most certainly, i sold it went round the houses and now its back. may need a few tweaks but it doesn't get better than these in my humble opinion. 

chris

Docfoster

Good on you.
Did you get a new front plate in the end...?

chrisb

No me old fruit, think the mrs has accepted it is mine as it is

Docfoster

A complete triumph then... ;-)

chrisb

uglymusic

Well done.

A victory for good taste and sound :-)
