You've got more faith with some of these 'hot under the
collar' types than I have Andy - I take a lot of what
they say with a pinch of salt (large one). Most of 'em
have never heard a valve amp and some of the others have
only heard some old *legacy* struggler at best and seem
to forget what some of the transistor equipment from the
70s could sound like.....

And some of us jsut lately spent three days at a well-known high end
audio show, listening to bunches and bunches of this crap. Did I say
that it was crap?

What crap - legacy valve amps

'Legacy' valve amps are currently being manufactured.

Eeyor, you got some catching up to do. I'm taking the **** out of Arny, I
don't consider 'legacy amps' and 70s transistor stuff to be crap

Plenty of both *are* though.


- Arny
does, he's on it all the time. I have a pair of great-sounding amps that are
about 40 years old and the 2A3 SET I built a year or two back is based on a
1929 design...!!

Have you ever tried say a well-designed mosfet amp for comparison ?
