LOL already missing her,
Aren't you satisfied with Destiny, WA22, Oblivion, & Odyssey on it's way.

....and Elekit TU-8200 being restored. It's winter and cold here. I need more tube amps ! Next one I'll call Firebird.

Improved DNA Stratus (they need a name) a possible addition in 2022. I have black, silver and gold. Now I just need a blue and fire engine red and that would be a Smurf and a GSX Mk2 in red.

How's this?

Very nice I thought you would be after the WA33

This new Audio Technica hybrid is interesting AT-BHA100

How about Jaguar red? Oh wait....you're talking headphone amps. Sorry. Or OTOH, plenty of headroom with these.

But they hid the tubes. Blasphemy!!

I have a soft spot for tube amps and you shouldn't be showing me lovely tube amps. If I had that I'm sure I'll be listening to LCD4 with that mono bloc with speaker taps.

I could live with this !

Frankly blue gets my vote...

... though tube rolling might be a tad expensive .

Edit: Oh and there's the preamp to consider as these are only power amps lol!

Costs an arm and a leg.. though you do get to specify which when you buy.. if you need to ask the price then you can't afford it.

Wait....this one is blue and green. Made for those who can't decide, I guess.

The red Cary V-12i's were a bit expensive for rolling output tubes. Wish I'd never sold those. Had them stoked with some early '60's GEC KT-77's at one point...all 24 of them (and a couple spares).

Sup Baronbeehive ! I was never into McIntosh headphone amps but I do like the classic McIntosh 275 which was released in 1961 and have gone through many iterations.

I could love this with the big Tannoy.

You wouldn't have at least a pair of GEC KT77 for me would you? Some nice gear you've had Bcowen.

Yes, that one looks reasonably sensible .

Yes but I think they've gone a bit cheap with the green which looks like it is just paint.. not lit up!

I like the MC901 with the 2 combined dual power output meters, one for decibels and one for watts which looks nicely over the top.

I think you might be massively relieved having got rid of the Cary though.. look at it that way lol! The GEC is a tube I could never manage to acquire.. probably because you had them all, and if I did would probably regret it later .

Not sure what is the purpose of all those tubes, maybe for Christmas fairy lighting.. and the power output is phenomenal on those McIntoshes.

Sadly, no. Another thing I wish I hadn't sold. But when I put the spare pair on Ebay and got more than 3X what I paid for them, I couldn't resist selling the rest. After selling the V-12i's I no longer had an amp that could use them which was after I was painfully bitten by the 300B SET bug and I couldn't envision a pentode in my life ever again. Stupid me. I now do less foolhardy things like continually improving my golf cart driving skills....
