Hi All,

This is a real murky subject.  To the best of my knowledge there is nothing in print regarding their vintage tube amplifiers.  Any leads on reference material would be deeply appreciated or a discussion group somewhere on the internet.  For your information, their output transformers were really, really special. 

Thanks,

David

i once owned a pair of the aps-55 amps, modded & refurb'd by coincident's israel blume, per description of arthur salvatore on his high-end audio website - wery nice amps...  also, while i have never heard them, their integrated offerings are purported to every bit as good as the more well-known offerings by scott/fisher/pilot/eico/etc.  i still own two wintage s-c mono tunas w/mpx outs; w/a quality mpx stereo decoder, these sound as good as any tuna out there; tho reception capabilities are marginal at best...
