This is not a commercial post. Just wanted to share a personal experience.
With so much going on with designing hybrid amps the past year, I haven't listed to a tube amp at all
Being a tube person at heart, I thought I would switch back to tubes today. I have a pair of custom mono bloc tube amps that I built about two or three years ago but never listened to them and had forgotten about them. Came across them this weekend and decided I wanted to see what they were capable of. They are constructed of solid Curly Maple and Bubinga all 3/4" thick. Right now they are running at 50 watts using EL34 output tubes with a 12AU7 input and 12AT7 phase splitter.
I had about an hour on them today which was plenty enough time to know that they will be getting a LOT more time on them from here on out
No tube power all year? What was I thinking
