RE: Waamamps or Bottlehead Stereomour 2A3 / 45 ???

74.72.246.129

Jeff built good amplifiers as I owned one. It is unfortunate the amps are discontinued. Perhaps demand is too little for Jeff to continue that amplifier. Perhaps a retired person with free time on their hands should reissue that design if Jeff would agree to certify the reissue amp for a fee. The Korneff amps use more expensive audio iron, thus not likely possible to build near the Bottlehead cost.

I would believe the Bottlehead Stereomouur with a CCS loaded 12AT7 should sound excellent as stated per others, but I have not heard it myself. Don Wright used amps are an option, but will sell quickly as seen on Audiogon.

A JJ 2A3-40 is reported to be better than NOS 2A3s. A search of various vintage 12AT7s for best sonicas should get the Bottlehead amp set up well with the 2A3. Of course the amp is convertible for 45 tubes.
