Anybody remember G.A.S.

James Bongiorno is back in business and using the GAS name again. His new amp is called Ampzilla 2000 and supposedly sounds pretty good. I think it is a straight Class B design, not running in Class A bias at any point of operation. As such, it should run pretty cool, even when standing on the throttle. Sean

Ampzilla, Son of Ampzilla, Grandson of Ampzilla. Thaedra, Thoebe, Black Beauty, Charlie the Tuner and Godzilla.........I have one of their posters that looks like Star Wars except it says Stereo Wars and instead of spacecraft it has Great American Sound gear shooting down Mitsubishi, Denon and ARC gear....The new amp is a four pole design and sounded fine used at the CES last year....

Was there a tie-in or run-across with Monarchy Audio at some point in this whole story, or are my neurons fried?

You all got one of them wrong. Sleeping Beauty. Gasworks.com is run by Bettinger and he rebuilds and modifies the amplifiers.

I used a Shibata tipped Sleeping Beauty in a Fidelity Research FR-14 arm with a vacuum tube head amp on a Linn. This was in the late '70s. This was my favorite moving coil at the time. I also owned a Supex 900E and a Denon 103D.
