Yeah, this is my first amp I can actually pet! There, there, now that's a nice little amp. :lol: They actually make suede combs, I should ask Jelle...

No, no plans. It's empty like Landau's new ODS or that ODSR that has pics floatin' around.

Yessiree! I just loaded 4 Tesla blue tint EL34 tubes from the mid 80s in mine. Very very nice.

Got them from Terry Kilgore.

Highly recommend. These sound better than the JJ E34L, JJ 6CA7, Winged C, Tung Sol New Sensor EL34, Ruby Chinese EL34, and the Siemens EL34. Similar to Mullard XF2.

So is it safe to say that the 183 Circuit is among the finest Howie has produced ? :D

Better than Winged C? Now you’re stirrin’ the pot! :twisted:
