Has anyone listened to a 2a3 set Loftin White as i'm having one built at the moment, it will hopefully look a bit like this one (http://www.atrj13.dsl.pipex.com/na-LW.htm) or maybe this one (http://www.bluebellaudio.com/examples9.htm)
depending on what chassis comes up, nearly all the bits are there it just needs a transformer and we will be cooking i hope

My Ming Da 845 SETs' sound fine on them so hopefully we should be ok with them as well, i'm getting excited

Loftin Whites have a great reputation for sound, but be aware that (depending on the input topology) if the input valve is removed/jiggled in use or fails then this could damage the output tube.

If you are getting Bluebell to build it, go for an Audio Note transformer and use the biggest value PSU capacitors you can.

Hi Andrew, It's not being built by Bluebell but buy another man who has built them before and hopefully it will have the Audio Note trannie
