Ok folks. Here is the official info from MP. Was able to make contact this evening.

First, sorry about the mess up. It was supposed to be posted as 11/1/18 NOT 11/25/18. They will adjust the website in the morning.

The Platinums have landed at warehouse and will need a few days processing. And, of course, they are in process of finishing out web page.

They said 11/1 in the AM for release.

Nice! I'm ready to order. I listened to the proto at canjam a while back even though it was hard to tell exactly what it sounds like in a show setting.

I was refreshing my browser for the most part of yesterday. I was so hyped for it to release! I'm glad it'll be releasing thursday! I am reaaaady!

Does anyone know if this amp will take other kinds of tubes? Like 6sn7's with an adaptor?

It won’t take a 6SN7 (too much draw) but there are comparable tubes that it may take like the Russian 6n23p.

Although a few owners have rolled tubes in the CTH (some have even rolled octals), as always, I don't recommend anything other than 6922 and equivalents. Keep in mind that the amp auto biases to a nominal 6922 and can handle some variation around this op point. Tubes whose op point is distant from 6922 may fail to bias the amp correctly. Then you will have problems. Just FYI for you.

OTOH, being just like you guys, I know that you're going to try it anyway.

You so get us.

 

[runeight]

You so get us.

Alas, I do. I'm just a lot older than most of you, but give me a cool way to break my amp and I'll do it in a New York minute. Just to see what happens. Because, maybe, it will actually sound better.

Two 6c8gs Ken-Rads or Sylvania?

I kid I kid!

**Looks over to the two adapters and Ken Rads**

Ha. What's with those Kenrads? I used to smash open tubes like that just to see how they were constructed. Probably breathed really bad heavy metals in the process.

But, when someone does try this, please let us know.

Someone highly recommends the Telefunken 6922/E88CC tubes for these, but there seems to be a large variety of those Telefunken 6922/E88CC selling at very divergent prices on different sites of the internet, and not having used any tubes before, I am having some difficulty distinguishing genuine reliable ones from possibly sketchy ones, although something tells me that they might not all be equally good and reliable, given their prices:

Can someone confirm that these Telefunkens can and do bring the promised enhancements to the table, and also recommend some reliable online sites from which to order rthem?
