I asked Craig about the electra a couple of days ago and he said it wasnt going to be there.
I heard from the Bay area meeting that the super7 is much improved from the prototype
Please share more impressions.
BTW what are the tubes used in that meeting? I think 3 pairs of reissue Tungsol 6SN7
but what is the driver with that adapter?
So, did anyone not go for the coupling cap upgrade?
While discussing the Balancing Act with Craig, I touched on the Electra. Here is what he had to say:
"The production Electra is nearing completion. The metal is finished, and the circuit board is being made. I hope to have the finished amp in March, production in April, delivery in May, price less than $3k.
The Electra is an all tube original design, 4 6SN7 tubes, and four 6L6GTB. Balanced input to output. Front panel has balanced, unbalanced input switch, bias adjust, and volume. The amp swings power, 40 watts of plate power per channel, 1800 volts peak to peak."
[note -this is not necessarily the final version but that's where he's at for now. I was bracing myself for a price tag upwards of 5K...phew.]
the coupling cap upgrade
I did not know that , what does it help?
