I got the original large Mod Squad Tip Toes many years ago to place under a B&K ST140/McIntosh MC225/B&K EX442 Sonata and Music Reference RM5 mkII preamp and was a believer.

I agree with the above on the Odyssey Stratos, my friend has one and at 150 wpc it sounds great.B&K EX442 Sonata, 200 into 8, 360 into 4, 75 amps peak to... | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? I disagree, one of the enticing things about tube gear, besides it sounding better, IMHO, is the nice glow of tubes, and the cool retro way it looks.

| Personal amp evolution Very nice freediver especially when you made the move to tubes. I’m still playing around making changes like sampling different flavors of ice cream. I listed the preamps used with the amps as I believe it gives more useful information. I’m dow... | |

He told me a long time ago that several people were trading in their expensive 300B SET amps for his Fleawatt amps and not missing a beat.i can attest, I recently had a 3 wpc 6B4G SET amp (6V ver... | |
