Butt out, please, I was talking to Ralph🙏 (you didn't start the thread  b_limo did.)
First sign of a shiller. Here some more for you to agonize over.

Interviewer: I ask Alberto Guerra , why put solid state components inside an old 6550 vacuum tube envelope, bet it’s not vacuum’ed back out and sealed again either.
"Company founder Alberto Guerra admitted that he did it largely for the sake of visual aesthetics. “Otherwise a class-D amp just looks like a box”

PS: OK he’s shown all his cards, with that statement.

AGD is just GaN based Class-D slid into a "bogus" empty 6550 tube envelope, which uses (horror) the base pins for all it’s contacts, everything has to go through them, input output power supply rails everything🤢 
Just the whole gutted tube thing, stuffed with solid state, and still using all the tube pins as power/current transmitting contacts, guess in time it ensures return service work when those pins start to corrode and arc over????




Was going to check out the AGD gear, 14 day return privileges for $7k in unknown gear with zero dealers.

NOPE!
And the above post means what? That he was thinking literally outside the box?

What's the issue with tube pins? I own 70+ year old Western Electric Amps and 300B tubes and have never had issues with tube pins, sure sockets can get loose but that's a one minute fix and tube pins are easy to clean.

What AGD has done is brilliant on more than one level.
