RE: Once you taste tubes it is hard to go back, err not really

Since morriicab mentioned First Watt in his post I decided to add my two cents worth. I used Cary 2a3 SET monoblocks to power the midrange and tweeter drivers of my triamplified DIY horn loaded speakers for eight or nine years. Then I tried out Nelson Pass built First Watt F-3 single ended class A JFET SS amps. The sound convinced me to sell the Carys and replace them with two First Watt F3 stereo amps. The freedom from tube anxiety is an added bonus.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
