RE: Goodbye Type 45 ....... hello JJ 2A3-40

Experience isn't a waste though. Sometimes you have to live with something lesser to appreciate more something that is better.

The 2a3 is so far my favorite output tube that is affordable. My next amp is likely going to be the Audio Note Empress monoblock 2a3s. They seem to punch well above their price range and they seem to have far more power especially in the bass than I would expect for 7 watt amps - and certainly more ballsy than any 300B I've heard. And yet they remain delicate enough not to be overbearing or too midrange bloomy.
