Klimo Klimo Merlino Gold Plus and Klimo Kent Gold Improved

Klimo Merlino Gold Plus preamplifier (with Thor power supply) and Kent Gold Improved monoblock power amplifiers. Like-new condition, single previous owner, official Italian import, complete with original packaging and remote control.
Both the transparent plexiglass and the closed metal covers are included.

Klimo Merlino Gold Plus Preamplifier
The Klimo Merlino Gold Plus is far more than a simple preamplifier; it is a hallmark of Dusan Klimo’s "purist" philosophy.

Circuitry: Based on a Pure Class A tube circuit with an extremely short signal path.

Zero Global Feedback: A technical choice that prioritizes harmonic naturalness and transient speed.

Build Quality: Exceptionally tidy internal design featuring partial point-to-point wiring and components selected for musicality over cost.

Tubes: Utilizes two E88CC / 6922 (ECC88) tubes, renowned for their low noise floor and superb linearity.

Connectivity: Equipped with RCA inputs and outputs.

The Gold Plus designation identifies significant upgrades over the standard Merlino, including Premium components (superior coupling capacitors and ultra-low-noise resistors) and the Thor enhanced power supply, which provides more stable current management—essential for maintaining a "black" background and allowing micro-details to emerge.

Klimo Kent Gold Improved Monoblocks
The Klimo Kent Gold Improved are vacuum tube monoblock power amplifiers that hold a place of honor in the pantheon of artisanal high-fidelity. They represent the refined evolution of Dusan Klimo’s original "Kent" project.

The choice of a monophonic configuration (two separate chassis) serves specific technical requirements:

Zero Cross-talk: Total physical separation eliminates electromagnetic or electrical interference between channels, ensuring superior imaging.

Dedicated Power Supply: Each channel has its own power transformer and energy reserve, providing effortless and unrestricted dynamics.

Key Features:

Output: Famous for using the legendary EL34 tubes (typically two per channel in a Push-Pull configuration).

Power: They deliver approximately 35-40 Watts per channel. While this may seem modest compared to solid-state giants, these are high-quality "tube watts," capable of driving demanding loads thanks to exceptional output transformers.

The "Improved" version introduces critical upgrades over the standard Gold series:

Output Transformers: Further refined to ensure an extended frequency response, particularly at the frequency extremes.

Selected Components: Power supply capacitors and resistors are chosen with extremely tight tolerances to ensure consistent performance between the two monoblocks.

Optimized Circuitry: More precise Bias management and signal pathing to further reduce the noise floor.
