@carl292 "Luxman MQ 88uc"
I use this beauty in my “winter" setup!
Sound of this amp, after adj. bias at higher side, is very “liquid” and “warm”! I use 88uc 4 Ohms output posts to drive 8 Ohms speakers, which reduces noise floor (mq88uc' is one of the lowest noise in the tube amps crowd) and increases damping factor. I rarely crank it up to higher than 10W output power, so, lower power of this tube wonder than SS is not an issue! Another advantage of this Luxman creation (this concept started in 60s) is a very gentle tube loading, which prolongs tubes life time (saves maintenance cost). Luxman runs these amps for 50hrs before final adjustment, thus no break-in is needed!
