Thank you for the informative as well as constructive comments about new ASL Hurricanes. Yes, I also did hear that they now have the more reliable Valve Art KT 88s. Where are they from--Chinese also? Additionally, I have been told that they are more reliable and also extend/improve the "highs" with more "air" as well as more transparency. Have you found that true?
How did switching to 6550s improve the sound?
In the triode mode, do you have any estimate of watts output available? What would the advantage(s) be over non-triode configuration? Thanks again.
