I switched from tubes because of heat, weight and power tube replacement cost. Started out experimenting with a few SS amps and ended up with AGD Audions. Could not be happier. Still have tubes in my signal path as I running through a Cary SLP05. Over all very happy!!
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...
Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.
