At a time when tubes are unobtanium...lousy timing.

And wasn’t there some mud slinging about the build quality under the hood? Maybe another brand but I thought it was these tube amps…

I’ve no dog in the hunt as I won’t regress to tube power amplification.

 

[Gepetto]

If you want to make obscene margins, you use tubes...

 

[J!m]

I’m perfectly comfortable making those margins with solid state.

PLP would not like the SNR on that unit. SNR only in the 90s

They look nice but stick with a WOPL. Bob should have too.

 

[FredR]

Second worst distortion ever measured by ASR.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Beautiful looking paperweights though.

$5k a pop monoblocks that measure like 1960s germanium transistor amps. Uhhhh…..am I missing something here?
