I have been getting back at this..working up to a limited run of these as the STAX SR-X9000 and Audeze CRBN have made that need to happen. But the chassis is extraordinarily expensive and difficult to produce, so I am working at ways to fix that. Also need to put it on the scale, thought it was 45lb but feels more like 60lb haha. It's really not that big of a footprint (13.5x18), but it makes the BHSE look like a toy. Power consumption is 190-200W depending on tubes, with 90-100W of that being heaters. The bottom of the amp is ice cold and the top is pleasantly toasty. The first 3 stages have recessed slide switches on top to switch 6.3 to 12.6v heaters, so common tube types are: 1st: 6SN7/12SN7, 12AU7 and many others w/ 8 to 9 pin adapter 2nd: 6SL7/12SL7, 12AX7 and many others w/ 8 to 9 pin adapter 3rd: 6N6P, ECC99, 12BH7A, possibly others such as 5687 w/ pin-out adapter 4th: Emission Labs 20B-V4

Just wanted to update everyone. I was able to get my amp fixed, My old audio friend check everything and replaced both tube sockets. I have been listening to it for about a week now and it sounds great with my SRX MRK3 phones. Thanks for all the help

Second best thing to a DD in California.

opened up the weber a few weeks ago and the rusted bottom dropped out and the thing collapsed. So... steak florentine

Endurance - Alfred Lansing I was inspired to pick this up after they found the Endurance preserved under the ice. What. A. Story. I knew the broad outlines of the Shackleton expedition, but this takes you day by day through the gauntlet. It is an incredible tale of survival that I wouldn't believe if it wasn't true. Chilled me to the bones and I can't get the smell of burning seal flesh out of my nose. Highly recommended.

That's a nice picture of a cat.

Something nasty for you real freaks out there. You know who you are!
