A direct report employee of mine, at an audio manufacturing company we were both working for, called Mesa Engineering around the time the Baron Amp was introduced and was able to speak with Randall Smith. After the conversation, Randall sent him one to try. It ended up at my house for a couple of months, hated to see it go. Very holographic and versatile using the output mode selection. Awesome product.
Mesa Engineering Baron vacuum tube power amplifier
Does anyone still own a Mesa Engineering Baron vacuum tube power amplifier from the 1990’s? It was Randall Smith’s (of Mesa Boogie fame) first, and penultimate, foray into the audiophile realm.
