I bet the pictures don't even make them justice. They must look so much better in person.

Well, Pedro after my wife saw (and listened!!) to them, she wants mine to look like that!! What do you think about this custom engraved little plaques? They look pretty cool in person(my camera kind of sucks) they could potentially look nice on those copper amps! The letters look bright but they are black.  |

Those amps are beautiful! Very neat work too. What kind of rectifier tubes are those m125's using - and how do they compare to the Weber solid state rectifiers?

Walt, they are 5AR4s, a good tube rectifier choice. Your WZ68s can provide twice the current supply, so if you play LOUD, well then.....

Hey I use those same blocks under my speakers! You and I use the same expensive vibration absorbers!  Mine are 2"x2" but yours look larger. |

Great looking amps Bill  Very clean wiring and the copper is an unexpectedly nice touch. My buddy brought over an older tube buffer from Musical Fidelity for a listen but I didn't care for what it did for the highs. They sounded a bit muddier. I'd like to audition a good set of tube mono amps to see the difference. Scott  |

Great job Bill. Like the copper...definitely it's a talking point with those m125's.
You do nice, precise work bill. You can tell you take pride in what you are doing when assembling those amplifiers...hell I know first hand you built mine.
