With the sparkling summers and fall, not much audio gets done - everybody rushes outside and plays! But during the winter it's time to hang out at bookstores, coffeeshops, go to concerts, and build audio.This summer was unusual, especially the freakish heatwave we got for a couple of weeks. Poor bro' Pimm got oven-roasted without any A/C in 90+ degree weather and the development version of these amps in his living room.
I was 10 degrees cooler in the shadow of the Olympic mountains (the Nutshell pix was taken right here in Silverdale) but ampless until last weekend.
What's interesting is Kevin's experience with thinned-out bass on his all-trans-coupled 2A3/VV32B amp didn't happen here. The bass power on this thing is downright frightening - it really could fill an auditorium with the right speakers. I suspect the fairly extreme power supply gets some of the credit for the stunning dynamics, although DHT drivers have a dynamic power and intensity all their own, leaving IDHT's in the dust. It's true, the driver in some ways is *more* important than the output tube.
The amp is also a testment to *not* having an all-in-one tube for both input and driver. I can assure you, this amp is more transparent - and far more colorful and dynamic - than any two-stage amp.
