Kora Electronics TB140

For sale is an exquisite sounding integrated from France, the Kora TB140.

This amplifier has a patented Square Tube Circuit and Motorola transistors. The four tubes provide a symmetrical signal and voltage at the output. The tubes only provide voltage and no current which makes them very long lasting.

A very unique design which offers an utterly transparent sound with a very solid grip on the woofers, thanks to a constant high current delivery.

A good description of the sound can be found on Michael Lavorgna’s Twittering machines:

“[…] the Kora TB140 also sounds rich and harmonically right, with nary a hint of leanness. I would say one of the aspects of the TB140’s performance that elevates it to — damn this sounds great — levels is this marriage of crystal clear clarity and timbral richness. Add to that an iron-fisted control of the speakers regardless of the music being pumped through it, and we have all the makings of a musically great time.”

2 x 70 W/8 Ω, 2 x 100 W/4 Ω. It sounds much more powerful than that and can drive most speakers on the market.

Has a MM Phono input and Pre-Out. Can also be used a power amplifier only (bypass mode).

In perfect condition, except for a small nick on a side panel near the back (see picture).

Rarely seen for sale on the second-hand market, still current and highly acclaimed product.

Comes with remote, owner’s manuals and original packaging.
