Absolutely positively the Manley Neo Classic 250! Neo/art deco face plate with cutouts in stainless steel screen to view the mighty glow of 10 el34's in each mono-block amplifier. The glowing Manley 250 insignia in the center of top of the sculptured face plate. If you go to Manleylabs.com you will see what I mean. Mine have the now unavaialble 24kt. gold face plate. But Manleys purpleish/lt.blue anodizing is very cool looking too. It is a beautiful amp from any angle. And sounds better than it looks. 250wpc/tetrode and 100wpc triode. Happy Holidays, Tone R.
What Tube Amp Looks Coolest?
What tube amps have the MOST tubes VISIBLE, lit up really cool-looking, so my room will look cool like a 1950's Frankenstein Movie?
Maybe some useless but cool-looking mirrors behind the tubes to multiply the Effect. (We could tell people it works by thought waves or some gullible-magnet idea like Mpingo discs utilize).
I would really like a mod which utilizes a small Jacob's Ladder or two. Why edit yourself? Have some fun!
I don't want to spend TOO much money either. However, more tubes, more glow, more sparks all are worth big jing to me, so have at it!
I believe tubes can sound great, because my Dad's old Bogen receiver from 1954 sounded good, except for the hum ;)
