 They're from Triode Lab out of Canada, their 2A3M-FFX "Supertriode". They use a 6H30 preamp tube, which is new for me, and they sport Hashimoto output transformers, Cardas binding posts, and silver oil caps. Having them painted Maroon red.

These will be my second set of Triode Lab 2A3 Monoblocks (I have the Americanos). I actively bi-amp my PureAudioProject Quintet 15s.

Can't wait!

 They make nice stuff.
Only heard them once,
trade in at a dealer.
The price seems right
for what amounts to hand
made equipment.
(I'm beginning to believe
that my Garber 421a (2008)at
$3,075 is the bargain of
a lifetime.)

 

What leadtime did they give you? (nt), posted on December 6, 2024 at 13:32:46

 Nice.
The one I saw was blue.
I think they use an automobile enamel.

Picked up the tubes I plan to use. Break-in tubes on the left, and what I ultimately plan to use on the right.
