Are those the same valves the Almarro uses? If so, I thoroughly approve!Originally Posted by Ali Tait

I'm speechless
Lovely looking system and I always very much enjoyed listening to a Lydian a mate has on his Hyperspace/AceSpace arm - very refined and "subtle."
I know what you mean about the earthiness of the 301 and 401.. lovely!
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

thanks for the flowers...
it's a custom built integrated - using 6c33c triode single ended, class a - about 2x 8 watt at 8Ohm THD 2,9% - no feedback - frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz -0.5dB - frequency response: 15Hz - 25kHz -1.2dB - sensitivity: 0,405V. nice vintage all tube concept with gas rectifiers and amperite 20 seconds delay tube.
it's quite different in comparison with my 845 amp - but it's not a goal to compete both amps - because they have their individual qualities.
I enjoy to have both ...

You really have an eye for design in your projects. Sweet system and room too. Quality all the way!
Can you tell me about your cd player. Looks interesting and unique like all your gear.
