I heard these at AXPONA last year and was very impressed! I was less impressed by the owner's insistence that the thing be called a "tube", which led to a longer conversation of clarification than I wanted to participate in based on his reluctance to clarify that they were not vacuum tubes. But, they sounded very nice with the speakers to which they were connected. I would love to try them with my system. |

Brilliant and original design from an aesthetic point of view, but there is certainly no technical reason whatsoever to put what is essentially a solid state power stage in a tube 😁.
What is next, a MOSFETTube? A BipolarTransistorTube?

 Nixie Tubes. That's what's next. What's new, is old. |

"The monoblock is heavy enough at 6 pounds 14 ounces (3.11 kgs.) that most power cords will not pull it off a shelf" Price: $15,000 I've never paid more than a few bucks for a novelty. And that is what this 'tube' class a amp is. Maybe when the price gets down to $5 or so... |

"Class D reaches the upper echelon of high-end audio." Cough, cough, bull crap. It costs a boatload of money, it is shiny, it is shaped like a tube and it glows. Therefore it HAS to sound good, right? 😉 |
