Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again
True. There's just something home-brew about it that's charming. 
Say a fella wants to build an SET monoblock based on the 300B..
It is reasonable Charles, and if you look at their site, you'll see the beautiful job that Pete does. Besides that, the average guy doesn't have testing equipment. Also, if you want to use certain capacitors or resistors etc, they will accommodate...

I agree with Charles. I have had 2 of their aamps built by their sanctioned builder, Pete Fulton, whose build quality is immaculate. I also had him build one of their tube DACs. In each case I was very satisfied and they were totally reliable. You... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
Ok Raul, whatever you say. If you don't want people to discuss you, don't say outrageous, unproveable things. 
Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more
+1 Everything that Douglas said.

Why would you have passed it up just for a misspelling? You know that it's not a product of a large multinational corporation, so it's not a big surprise. I think it's actually interesting. Something to show friends and guests.

Oh, so now he's an expert on the amplification devices we should use! You are really something Raul! Learn to spell and there'll be no stopping you.

Raul,How do you dare to presume that you know what others have or have not experienced?I don't need to say any more. You have proven your ignorance perfectly all on your own. 
Interesting Video from Upscale Audio
It's really interesting, but I can't help feeling that Art's beloved Valencias could have found a more appropriate home.

Hi Raul,I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think it's a amusing though that you mention Telarc using ADS as studio monitors. I own quite a few of their recordings, and despite their reputation, I have found many of them to be disappointing... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
The first (self-titled} Seatrain album. Still love it.
