Ok. And I wouldn’t have answered except I’m afraid you won’t find anyone with personal experience. I hope you do.
As for other amps, search around and you can find them. I just posted a photo in the "45 Lovers" thread of the amp I am currently listening to (while a custom amp is being built). I found this Italian made integrated amp with remote on ebay for $2500 or so and really enjoy it. It pushed to the shelf a $6k push pull 6L6 amp and an $8k push pusll 6C33C amp.
Best of luck,
Jerry
