BUI - Guilty

Should be a great sounding piece of equipment vinylzone. Enjoy!

@vinylzone Hey, as long as you did your research as @millercarbon suggested then, hey, congrats. It’s an experience. If you haven’t had tubes before, welcome! If you find that this amp is not right for you or your system, then there is always Audiogon and usaudiomart, and it will have been effectively a rental. Enjoy!

Congrats on the legal weed and cool tube amp!  A great combo...

@kingbarbuda,

I had tubes in the past.  I built my own tube preamp with mc phono stage back in the early 90s, and also rebuilt a pair of mono Conn tube organ amps, but only used them occasionally with my Apogee Duetta IIs.  I also had a nice Eico ST70 integrated amp in a secondary system. 

I've had solid state for a while now, as I thought that I really didn’t want to deal with tubes, but getting the Herron VTPH-2A started to change my mind.

BAT is one of those brands that I always felt made great sounding gear, but I wasn't willing to pay that much.  So I put in a bid with a few seconds left, I really thought I had no chance in hell of winning.

If it doesn't work out,  I should be able to turn a profit on it on a trade in or sale, so I'm not at all worried about it.  Or it'll at least make a good backup or second system piece.

Yeah, it's the most effective (and cost effective) tweak when it comes to musical enjoyment. :)
