ZMF/Ampsandsound Pendant SE
$1750 is price for amp with stock tubes and ZMF NOS set. $1900 for all tubes listed.
Purchased in May 2021. Including the ZMF NOS set and many other tubes. The amount I paid for the various tubes was a bit over $500 (includes ZMF NOS). Also includes stock JJ tubes.
Upgraded with stainless screws and socket savers
Gorgeous Olive wood.
Basically the Ampsandsound Lee Loo without speaker taps and with much better looking wood. Lee Loo is on sale for $2200, but normally $2900 with only stock tubes and in regular black case.
Not sure if it’s luck or just where I live, but normally dead quiet though varies with tubes, headphones, and even cables.
Original heavy duty case with handle included.
Price includes PayPal fees and I cover half of USPS Priority with insurance.
Tubes are NOT for sale separately.
Included tubes along with stock JJ. Bottom ones are ZMF NOS set.
Additional Pendant tubes included
Most of these have very low hours, as I’m selling those tubes I used most separately. I’ve listed info from original purchase and price paid, along with some comments found online for some.
I’m also selling a bunch of others separately (not posted yet) so let me know if you want any of those and I’ll include them for the price listed minus $3 each I save on shipping.
Virtually all of these were recommended specifically by tube experts on the Pendant thread.

Tube Depot $48 TORQ Pendant review recommended. code R4D1n 1964 or 74. The NOS Mullard 12AT7WA / CV4024 tube is low noise and long lasting. This 12AT7 tube is a very good choice for hifi preamps, driver stages, and guitar amp reverb circuits. The Mullard 12AT7 is original production from Great Britain. This is the Famous Mullard 12AT7. We mostly have the CV4024 version. The CV stands for “Common Valve” which is a military designator for the British military. Any tubes that were designated for the military, by law, could not have the factory logo on them. Often, CV tubes would be re-labeled after decommissioning so it is possible to see a factory logo on a CV tube. These are the real deal Mullard made tubes. Some of the last ones left, these are great sounding tubes with that old European heritage.
The 12AT7 tube type is equivalent to the European ECC81 tube and can be used in any 12AT7 or ECC81 circuit.
A little warmer than the included tube, with a hint of added liquidity in the mid-range, and an extremely polite treble, but perhaps at the cost of some low-level resolution. Some added tonal weight/richness, but still quick and punchy. Generally leans towards the more classical “tube” presentation without robbing the Pendant of its clarity, tone or resolution. A hair less slam than the other tubes mentioned here, but a little more low-end presence offsets that nicely.
