Great advice. I’ve been obsessing about what model to get. They all look very well made. I prefer warm/sweet and assume they all have the same or similar house sound.
I love the bias control of the DGA1. Some of the others look a little more complicated but not too difficult - if that makes any sense.
I didn't see (or know) of a difference on the others, after visiting with Pat a few times, I think the key is getting the biggest transformers you can afford for the best sound, that seems to be the major difference between the models.
Well isn’t this peculiar. I distinctly remember another “joeinid” from other forums saying he emphatically was done with “tubes”. Now look what we got here...haha. Just teasing you Joe. I’m desperately wanting to try another First Watt amp but I myself am in love el84 tubes and have an AudioNote amp on the way in a couple weeks.
My vote is get the DGA1 as that’s what I could realistically afford down the line and would love to hear your thoughts on it. :)
All I can say is that I haven’t made the leap yet. We, meaning I, always want what we don’t have. I have to be honest, I don’t think Whammerdyne is your typical tube amp. It’s definitely special.
Maybe the quarantine is getting to me. I’ll let you know what happens. :)
