Howard and Chris,

You have no idea how thankful I am for all this explanation. Honestly, I can't wait to have all the system set up. I will keep you all posted!

PS. Any bananas/brass brands you would recommend? I heard Eichmann are really good.

Cheers,

Josep

Well, you guys made it. I spent the whole morning researching tubes online and didn't get any work done. Anyway, this is for the good.

I asked the seller of my MkI and it has a Tesla tube. I did a little searched and it seems they are really similar to the Siemmens.
See here:

Nevertheless, I am rather suspicious. Tesla tubes are slightly cheaper than Siemmens (See the following listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67816&item=5754089979&rd=1)

Regardless, I love the man (Tesla), probably the greatest investor of all times. So, I will give them a shot. Needless to say that I will compare them against the Siemmens and the Mullard.

Once again, thanks for everything. Josep

In my other amp, the Tesla had a slightly thinner, more analytical sound than the Siemens. Have not tried it in the Prima Hybrid, however. Try different tubes. The amp takes only one 6922 tube, so you don't have to buy them in pairs. You'll find one that suits you.

Hi everyone, while I am waiting for my MKI to arrive I emailed the Audio Aero guys because I was wondering whether this is a class-A amp or not. Well, they finally replied (to my surprise) saying this is a class-B. (Not even a class AB.) Well, I know there is more to life than class-A and other technical specifications, but can anyone provide some thoughts on this matter? Thanks, Josep
