@69zoso69 @bluorion well, good luck to both of you getting your amps. We all know supply issues were awful the last two years and are only now getting back to "mostly" normal. At some point though, you have to wonder if Decware has that much of a backlog they ought to consider upping the number of production people to cut wait times to 1 year max. Designing a tube amp is one thing. Building one from instructions, particularly hands on instruction, is another depending on the skill set of the person doing the labor. Glad you were able to finally get grilles for your Tektons. I know they say Eric hates building them, so maybe that product would be ripe for him to farm out to someone else to speed up the process. Patience is key, I guess for specialty items.
I’ve not heard the Atma-Sphere GaN Class D but I looked at a few reviews and wow, some say they could "cure" you of wanting any tube amps, even those by Ralph himself. Interesting.
