Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

It's no secret how fond I am of Sherwood amps.The 7868 S5000ll isn't my favorite of the Sherwoods because I don't like a 12AX7 to be used a driver..They are great for a voltage amp,but not to drive outputs..You can mod them with a better tube like a 7247 tho.
The four amps you mention in your title are all fantastic.They all sound different but all sound excellent if you upgrade them properly.
I like the LK48 and ST40 but you want a 35uf to 40uf poly off the GZ34.That will wake those amps up.
