I think people ask too many mod on top the original design, and given too little time for Mikhail himself. did I say too little time? What was I thinking.........

Note: this is not a comment is NOT about Mikhail's amps at all, it is a general comment concerning high voltage tube gear and the dangers that they represent. |
