Suppose you can take only one amp with you to a desert island, which
would it be? (To make it easy, we'll assume your record collection, a
source and speakers are waiting for you, and the island is plugged in
to the universal mains electricity.) Why would it be that particular
amp?


My 2A3 push pull amp.
It drives reasonably efficient speakers like no other amp I've ever
built, including those hybrid MOSFET class A monsters.

And that is exactly why I keep this little amp around, instead of
tearing it down again like all my other tube amps.
I have 3 working systems at this moment (all decent 2-channel stereo,
no multi-channel mumbo jumbo for me), and each and every one of them
has its own strong and weak points.
The 2A3 system however is the most versatile system that I have.
Regardless of the type of music, it always sounds involving,
effortlessly.
