RE: Is this 300b too good to be true?

Thanks re: the quote. It can be misinterpreted; I don't think it was intended to be a ko-an, but as with much of Zen practice, to much of Western thinking just about all Zen is confusing or ko-an like... which of course it is. But isn't. ;^)

Nothing lacking in the amp, per se. Just not how I like my amps designed or built, for now. Some of this is based on experience, the rest on the advice of those who I trust.

I would prefer a two-stage amp (or maybe three stage if all DHT). I prefer film/ stacked film/ metalised film-in-oil/ metalised film capacitors (though 'lytics can be useful in DC filament supplies), non-magnetic resistors (quality carbons or tants), minimal capacitive coupling to chassis (or other components/ wires), tags used sparingly, quality tube sockets, minimal solder joints, C or quality EI core outputs...

That is a start. As I said above, just preferences, not dictates.

Cheers.
