Thanks for a super interesting and helpful post, plus the endorsement. Tube rolling (with the right tubes) indeed elevates the HA-3A to...

Haha! :) Exciting times indeed. Well, I might not keep any of them and dive deeper into tubes in the end, but I certainly can't justify...

i don’t know, on top of having chokes, i see the MJ3 having more capacitance than the mentor as well. I think power supply was Schiits...

I am not sure, how much the chokes contribute to heat to be honest. The MJ3 is definitely one of the hottest class-A amps I tried, but...

This is a bit of an exaggeration. There were maybe a handful or a dozen cap failures on early production MJ3s, always the same caps...
