Re: Can Bendix 6094 sub for a 7868

What Eli said! "El-Cheapo" is very tongue-in-cheek as far as its name goes. The people who have built it simply are amazed by how good it it. And the ones who spent a few more $$ to upgrade the output trafos were really amazed.

The original goal of "El-Cheapo" was to produce a high quality low cost stereo amp - $100.00 or so excluding an enclosure was the target. Well, we couldn't get it done for $100.00, but it wasn't too much more than that when the design was finalized. By using VERY good quality (but not "boutique" parts) and looking at the amp wholistically rather than just as the sum of its parts (cost) the results exceeded everyone's expectations.

I promise you, that amp is good enough to justify use of really good tubes - don't be fooled by the name!
