The (never ending) Quest For “More”
@tony1954  Also, it would seem one has to make a sufficient number of mistakes in order to discover what one actually likes/dislikes! ;o) Agree  👍🏼

I've just plugged in (4) matched Sylvania black plate 6SN7s (1960s/70's I think) and (2) matched RCA long black plate d getter 12AU7s. It sounds like a burlap sack was removed from over my amp. Striking improvement. Immediately more open and clea...

@rvillanova Excellent. I hope it’s the last amp for me. I’m going to roll some preamp tubes for a few months then settle in.

@decooney “Man that is a beast, and appears it can run 70w in parallel single ended Triode too, correct?. Very nice. My Monos run only run two KT150s or KT120s per amp and its plenty for my less efficient speakers. It’s cool to see the 6SN7s and...

@coltrane1  Great pic 👌🏼 and agree on OBs / low power.  I don’t need more that 25wpc right now. In fact, earlier this year I was loaned a Pass Labs INT-25 and it was nice.  I went for this amp for reputation on resolution / soundstage / imaging ...

I have Pure Audio Project Trio15 Classics with Voxative Pi-Fe drivers in the middle.

I was warned that this amp gets hot. I have around 10hrs on it now and it seems “normal” to me and pretty much matches the heat of the Cronus Magnum III. It’s sitting on an open console with plenty of air circulation around it and an AC vent nearb...

You bet. I’ve been curious too. Time to see what’s what.
