Anybody find the power button to be very inconsistent in regards to turning the unit on? Do you press it once or do you hold it until you see it physically turn on? I find that momentarily pressing the power button turns the unit on sometimes, other times you have to hold it for a split second...

Why dont you enjoy metal with the dn2000?

Maybe the EML doesn't sound as good in Super E configuration.

I think I got the spark on the stock Sovtek tube as well. It's harder to see on the Sovtek though. It's best to turn the amp on in the dark to test for sparks.

I think this thread might be responsible for 2 unsold vdx3 darths at headphile.

What's this D getter O getter stuff?

Does anybody ever see a blue spark inside a tube when you turn on your amp? What could this mean?

The Glow Amp One looked the same as the Jasmine T200, but they were very different amps.

Jamato, I thought you said you were going to try and get a picture of your modified W6.

Do lower impedance phones with 32 and less ohms work better with SS?
