Hmmm
This one is becoming a recurring theme Jim
Dr. Steve: This, along with the similar themes recently, were drawn many months ago, so I can't recall what was on the news that might have inspired them. Just be happy to know they have nothing to do with me, as I'm still in wedded bliss . . . for over 40 years.
Thanks. He was a scientist and audiophile, which rarely go hand-in-hand. One of these days, I'm going to build one of his designs.
Yes, that's funny. Less amp heat was one of the prime considerations, and a very practical one, why eventually I decided not to audition Octave MRE 220 monoblocks (8 power tubes total), but instead for the same money bought the Octave RE 320 amp (4 power tubes) and upgraded my subwoofer system. I am glad about my choice!
The summer was very bearable with this class AB pentode amp in my listening room without air conditioning, unlike with my old class A triode monoblocks (only 15 W/ch, but enormous heat from those eight 2A3 tubes, with ca. 300 W power consumption per channel).
Sounds like a wise decision. In the words of Steven R. Rochlin, what matters is that you Enjoy the Music
