Try This With Your SS Amp

@oddiofyl   In the spirt of full disclosure, I just bought a pair of Hegel H30 mono blocks.  Helgel has been the favorite SS amps I have owned in the past.  Got a deal on the last 2 H30s the Canadain supplier had in inventory.  With the new H30A about to be released, he was modivated to sell these last two amps.  With all these amps weighing 100+ pounds each, swapping them in and out will be my exercise for the day!

Enjoy !  Lifting them.....   and listening too.   I hope you don't ever go completely to the dark side 

Many moons ago I had a CJ premier 11 amp.  It had Svetlana 6550's.  The violet color plasma within the tubes would swirl around.  It was memorizing.  Alas, no Svetlana tubes being built any more....

I am doing same with my ss amps. Class A ss mono blocks generating plenty of heat, and then deliver the tube glow from the quad tubes in my pre amp.

I live in the Caribbean so I don't need any extra heat, thank you.  I use Class-D amps partially to avoid the waste head.  Cooling is just as expensive as heating and local power generation costs are ridiculous. 

I get my tube "fix" via pre-amps. The tubes get "uncomfortably warm" as opposed to hot.  I also opted for a pre that allows me to bypass the tubes or even go completely passive, if I'm in the mood for "ultra accuracy".
