Wow, what a tidy little unit. I know some have used the **EM7 type
tubes for larger SET voltage amp/drivers with pleasing results.
I guess Rodger Modjeski and I may share the same lack of enthusiasm
for obsessively bypassing every electrolytic in sight --refreshing!I have found that the overall synergy of a design and the
harmonic characteristics of the chosen tubes at given operating
points are by far the greatest determinants of sonic performance,
and that expensive/exotic components (possible exception OPT's)
often contribute little if anything over intelligently chosen
common industrial parts.Jeffrey, please share more details of your listening impressions
with whatever loudspeakers/arrangements you have tried. How are
the sonics compared to some of your other amps?Looking forward to more of your reportage.
