Golden Tube amps


These look interesting to me and have some good prices. Anyone have some opinions on these? Reliability? Sound quality such as sound staging, detail and of course realism. I have never owned tube, so don't know the problems that come with tubes in general.

I have an old SE-40 (parallel single-ended 40 wpc stereo) which sounded glorious, especially for the coin...but the circuit was unreliable and I threw in the towel after having it repaired twice.

It's still in my garage in Boca Raton, FL, free to anyone who wants to pick it up.
Triode,
I just wanted to thank you in the forums for the opportunity to repair this amp, and give it a good home. You have it all arranged down there by now, I should be down in a few weeks to pick up from my friend, and meet you if you have the time.
Thanks again
Jeff
I had a SE-100 hooked up to Magnepan 1.6 speakers and the sound was wonderful until the amp sparked and a flame shot out of it. I had it repaired and never used it again. They are very nice sounding amps but I would go for something like a Rogue or McIntosh.
Well, my friend Mark just picked up the amp from Triode. I just want to state to anyone following this thread, and I will use the name Triode here, Triode does exactly what he says he will do.

Thank you Triode for the opportunity to repair and modify, and own a tube amp I would have had to save probably a year to purchase, and still have to repair.

Mark and I are making arrangements to meet up so I can pick up the amplifier and bring it home.

It will be in a nice home, and I will update you as to what I am doing to it, and when it is finished.
Thanks
Jeff
