Hovland HP-100 Users

Do you use or have you used the Hovland HP-100? If so, do you find it to be overly tough on the tubes? The last couple sets of NOS Mullards that I installed seemed to get noisy rather quickly, after about six months. Have you experienced this issue?

Also, have you tried the EAT 12AX7's? They are very pricey!

Do you have a Wytech amp?

No, I use VTL 125 MB's (EL-34's) on my KHorns and a pair of Cary 500MB's on my Magnepans.

If you like the Wyetech Opal wait until you hear the new Wyetech Ruby. I have a few audio friends in Ottawa who are beta testers or something like that who tell me that the Ruby is awesome.

I used to dream about the Opal and the 211 mono's w/me roasting to a golden brown after each session.
