I guess the pilot had to get a look at them? I know it’s fake, but they did a right good job of it!

New power amps. :)

A pair of el84 monoblocks, bottom right - probably around 12wpc. Designed and constructed by Duncan tubehunter of this parish.
Also a final farewell shot of my Pass Labs X150 - about to be delivered to its happy new owner.
Thanks Tony wee tee cee (and Mike(y)b for sending) for the monos, they are sounding bloody brilliant!
I shall swap my fave Reflektor el84 valves in later on and see how they do.
They look very tasty. What's the power output on them?
I'd guess that you can squeeze 10-12 watts out of them.
Always liked the look of those Copper amps (and other things) Plus I like owning equipment that folk have tweaked/designed.
I realise that most of my things are tweaked in some way- it's a bit vampire-ish though? (As I don't do the work myself!)
Thinks; what happens if you suddenly decide "This is IT" Jerry? (Well, you have with speakers.......)
ECM on Spotify? Good, as I shed ALL my LPs last year!

^^ Awesome pics, Duncan. :thumbsup:
Makes me proud to be their new owner.
Over the years the copper has got a bit tarnished in places - any tips for the best way to return them to their burnished glory, folks?
er....Brasso?
As also used on phono plugs?
Lead on into 2018.........
