Personal amp evolution

Arcam Alpha 10 integrated
Classe CAP-100 integrated
Audio Research D130
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 driving Plinius SA-100MkIII - Done for now

all tube amps sold and custom interstage coupled 300b single tube SET amp being built with excellent parts throughout..tango output trannies, electraprint trannies (interstage/power), blackgates, sophia tubes, GZ34 rectifiers...

hopefully this is the end of it until I decide I require much more power and then another custom tube amp will probably result.

This covers about 16 years ....
