Charles1Dad,
Agreed. For giggles down the road, as a wild experiment, since I really will purchase the Franks, perhaps I'll get the Mullard 378 and plop it in the Dynamo to hear what it does in the Dynamo prior to installing it in the Franks...it would be interesting, what an expensive rectifier does, or does not do in the Dynamo? Right now, as currently constituted, I bought this amp for $800, bought NOS RFT Siemens for $200, Shuguang Black Treasure 6CA7-Z for $150. I already had on hand the Sylvania 6SL7 WGT and RCA Red Base, as well as Gold Lion KT 77 and a NOS Phillips rectifier. So, $1,150 for audio nirvana. Now, that is a bargain SET set-up.
