Thanks for the response! How long have you had yours?
I love all the options, but I wonder how they will hold up over time. I am not looking at 20 years, but it would be nice to get at least 5 years out of one. This thing is Well over $1K landed in Canada and you know I am going to be buying some tubes.
I've had mine for about a year, been through about 4 sets of input tubes and 2 sets of drivers. Sockets still feel firm and durable, this amp is built like a tank and is an absolute unit. Build quality is exceptional, the wiring and solder work also looks very well done and of good quality. Like it was said above this amp will easily last you 5 years, much longer if you take proper care of it. With some good quality tubes installed this amp definitely performs as you would expect a ~1000 amp to perform, I can't listen to my 6XX's on anything else anymore, the sound is smooth but still dynamic, lots of resolution and clean power. If you're on the fence and are worried that there isn't a lot about these guys online I would pull the trigger, it's an exceptional amp with the only flaw I can think of is the weight (not portable at all, probably about ~30lbs)
