Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there?
The Wyetech Rubies sell for $29,990 direct from Wyetech. The $67k quoted above is a suggested MSRP, closer to what an amp of that quality might sell for after the typical dealer and distributor markups. I don't believe it runs push-pull, since no ...

S1nn3r,Doubt Roger will show at RMAF. He doesn't post here either. Some say he's a genius.I have his superb Sapphires but need more power for my new Vivids, so I'm waiting on his new output trannies to ship.Have a look at the sole customer comment...

Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps?
Well uh, no Bo, if that were true I'd be buying the Samsung plasma you were touting earlier, but I await the new OLEDs... as I await the Pass .99 series ;^) 
Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps?
