I had a Melos two ch tube amp in the 90s......that had 4 EL509 in it ...the older tubes..... one with the plate on top....i still have some of the tubes here now i was going to put in a push-pull amp....only 4-5 of tubes....but i could never get the Melos amp setup.....how the hell can you get 200 watts out of two tubes
i sold the amp.... never sounded good.....but it had trodels output trax....at that time i was told the output trax were the prob....
But your amp may sound sweeter.....than the one with more EL504s
an less heat..........thats my prob....even the M60s i have to HOT..
i live with push pull amps an get great sound 50-60 wattes KT88s 6550s
an some mods....like the DC clamp on the output tubes that Bob Carvers uses in his amps....with a 5AL5 tube....i now have the tube amp sound i have been looking for for 40 year.... thanks for your time.
