Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

"...how they called the HF50 a 50 watt amp, and the HF60 a 60 watt amp, and all they did..."

..."was change the output transformer to an Acrosound and charge more for it." Actually, EICO did this based on measurements. The amp with the TO-330 was capable of greater measured power output at a given distortion level, had a wider measured frequency response and a faster measured rise time than the exact basic circuit using the Chicago OPT. Sound quality inferiority of the Acro OPT is a relatively recent development and is probably as much as anything the result of a "David vs Goliath" mentality. YMMV
