Mars Companion enclosure fresh from engineers. Stainless steel ie a good choice for people living close to the sea. Point to point wiring is largely immune to the oxidation effects of salt water, as opposed to printed circuit boards. #kt88 #kt88tubes #tubeamps #6sn7 #handwired #stereophile #point2point #marsamps #diytubeamp #diytube #madeinsouthafrica https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPjA4kKz_x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mars Exceller Single Ended KT88 tube amplifier. 16 watt per channel. Great for all types of music. Piano especially. Treat your ears and hear your music the way it should sound. #kt88 #kt88tubes #tubeamps #6sn7 #handwired #stereophile #point2point #marsamps #diytubeamp #diytube #madeinsouthafrica #6SJ7 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPhOVcqdch/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mars Exceller nearly finished. Single ended amplifers gives an unbeatable resolution to high frequencies. Being Class A amplifiers, you get that full sound even at low listening levels. The KT88 gives you about 16watt in ultra linear or 8 watt in triode mode. That is sufficient to drive most speakers to enjoyable listening levels. Excellent for smaller rooms, or for people with sensitive ears that enjoy late night listening. #kt88 #kt88tubes #tubeamps #6sn7 #handwired #stereophile #point2point #marsamps #diytubeamp #diytube #madeinsouthafrica #marsamps https://www.instagram.com/p/CbZzHDDKtcn/?utm_medium=tumblr
