Wolcott amps The best tube amps?

Hank Wolcott may be reached at his office at 805-527-8842. (This is in California, Pacific Time Zone) He is available for the usual business hours and is very helpful in answering questions. I understand that he has a web site too, I will try to locate and post the web address here. Hank owns an instrument company as well as Wolcott line, so don't be confused if you hear two names when he answers the phone. Not surprising, he did a lot of work for the US Government as well as JBL. He holds patents for designs used in testing for Military work, as well as the particular circuit in the Wolcott amps that get the output circuit so perfectly biased and aligned. Sorry to say that building them is a hand assembled operation, so I still do not have the pair of mono's that I have ordered. Hank promises that the assembly will be complete soon, and I will post here when I feel I have enough experience with them to make a valid comment.

I located the home page for Wolcott Audio: http://www.elan-gmk.com/wolcott/welcome.htm. Hanks e-mail address is also at this site, for those who prefer responding by e-mail rather than phone.

Hope you get them soon, Albert Porter. Looking forward to your feedback. I changed the output tubes from the ones supplied and didn't hear any significant change. They are still numero uno in my taste

The promise has been made for shipment this coming week. It is hard to believe I will finally get my new Wolcott Amps. I look at my first posting here on this subject, on Jan 27th, and realize I have been waiting a long time for completion of these baby's. This latest version of the Wolcott's, with the new wide band transformers and a upgraded configuration on the damping was what I was waiting for, and having (just now) read the newly published review by Dick Olsher, I can hardly wait! If you wish to read the review, go to: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0700/wolcottaudio.htm This is the strongest review for an amplifier auditioned with a Soundlab speaker that I have ever read. I suspect the comments may have been just as strong if they had been auditioned with different speakers. I say this because my pursuit of this product came primarily from two very good friends recommendations, who feel as Mr. Olsher does about their Wolcotts. Neither of these guys owns Soundlab's, but describe similar performance gains in their own systems. I hope my experience will be a similar one, and I will post results here in some weeks from now.
