Okay Ray, I guess I am in for a Black one with 4 spare connectors, please. I have see what all the fuss is about driving the HE-5.

I knew you wouldn't resist Larry

,eagerly awaiting for your impressions.

Ray, please reserve a Black Protector and two connectors for me. Can't wait to go balanced with my JH13's.

Thanks, Ron

I actually read it as, "I prefer tubes, but can't always use them, and when I can't, then the Protector is really awesome"

^^thats not what he meant,he prefered the hd650 balanced with the protector than the hd650 from woo6,different flavours and different sound sig.

I have to state that I love tubes, again, and if I could they would be all that I use but, sigh, the Protector in balanced takes the HD650's to a different level. They are more layered with sound from the Protector and it sounds like I am listening to a live feed when the music is well recorded and even at times when it is not. There is even better separation of instruments and voices. I can hear voices now in front of and beside each other more clearly and distinctly. I wouldn't have believed the recording had actually caught that much detail in the performance but the Protector with my HD650's or the JH 13 Pros, brings that out in a natural, neutral sounding way. I would say the Protector performs above the 1000 dollar range with ease and I am not sure a dollar figure even needs to be made. The Protector just does what it does and you listen to the music.

I was all ready to pull the trigger on the Protector from your earlier impressions of the Protector, which I did yesterday. I was kind of regretting selling my tube amp this morning to fund this amp but now after reading this recent post I have no regrets.
I just can't wait for all my new toys to come in and see which one blows my mind away the most.

I don't want to fill this thread with non Protector info so I will keep it short. I love tubes because I first built my tube radio back in the 60's. I love the glow, and I truly enjoy designing circuitry and working with them but the Protector has supplanted what I have looked for in tubes. I would still love little tiny glowing tubes just for the glow but in the Protector but it ain't going to happen. :^)

please forgive my lack of knowledge in this field.
a popular amp built by another company is said to have 2-cell (8.4V) battery (i dont want to bring up its name in this thread). the protector has 16.8 volts.
does that mean the protector has twice-stronger power to drive big cans?

btw, what is size/the measurements of this product?

i would LOVE for ray's next project to be a ultra portable tube amp! i know there is already another tube amp on the market, but it's more hybrid than tube-tube ( if you know what i mean) and its too big for my taste. something along the size of the Protector would be great.

mayb ray will make the top transparent so that we can see the tubes! but i get ahead of myself......
