Up for your consideration from the world famous Redneck Stereo Salon are two Black Ice Audio Monoblock Amplifiers.
These amps were only used for about 2 months. The stock models with 4 K170 tubes list price is $9,000.00 These units have been upgraded from the standard stock models it comes with 4 K170 tubes producing 175 Watts Per Channel (WPC) These amps can run many different power tubes and equivalents. To name just a few 6550, KT88, and the KT170.
Her is what Black Ice has to say about the Fusion 100.
"The signature sound of the F 100 is a fine line of transparency and musicality that results in an accurate, yet organic & natural washing-over effect. Because of this wonderful mix, choosing the right tube will have a major impact on the overall sound of the amplifier. Unlike other manufacturers where the circuits in their equipment require you to use a certain type of tube and brand with their products, the Black Ice Audio amplifiers make it easy for you to roll different types and brands. With the use of the onboard meter and the tuning wand provided with the product, you’re able to bias accordingly. It’s that easy."
If you have ever owned a tube amp you know how important tube biasing is and what a frustrating ordeal it can be. Not so with the Fusion 100 this is maybe the easiest amps we have ever biased, here is why according to Black Ice. "Bias our tubes in under 30 seconds with the centralized backlit Vu Meter and the Biasing selector switch which makes checking the bias amperage in real time simple with a turn off the knob. Using the provided tuning wand and the backlit Vu Meter each tube can be biased exactly where you want it. We design our amplifiers to run at the exact setting for the user selected power tubes, we do not feel any auto-bias that operate within a range is superior to the user dialing in the correct setting for the specific tube. We admit that Auto Biasing is a cool tagline, but Black Ice Audio prioritizes audio purity and tube life and Exact Tube Biasing is the only way to achieve that goal without compromise."
