Art Audio Amps

I am considering purchasing an Art Audio SET, either the Jota or the new PX-25. I'd like to find used ones but I've heard that the power tube in the Jota has a tendency to ring while playing music. Heard anything about this? Also, anyone have any idea on the future availability of the power tubes for these pieces, especially ones from KR Enterprises? Any general feedback on these amps in general? Thanks in advance, listeners! (A plug for my favorite audio mag.)

I like the Jota, excellent SET amp, with some real bass--a rarity for SETs. However, I think the KR Enterprise amps themselves, are significantly better than the Art Audios; and they look pretty cool too ;-) Recommended!!

I don't know about the split thing? I heard the amps back-to-back at a dealer's that sells both. Speakers were various model Silverlines, and Reference 3A models. The Jota is good like I said, but I thought the KR amps were just "better", you know? I definitely was NOT impressed by the new lower priced Art Audio amps though. The dealer is a good guy, but he's a small "living room" dealer, I don't even think he's on the internet. I have his phone if you'd like it, don't want to post that publicly. I know he has the Atma-Sphere amps too, those I really like, but they are very speaker-dependent...
