A few of you have asked about these amplifiers

Some key features:

* 100% point-to-point wired
* V-Cap Teflon coupling capacitors
* Gold tube sockets
* JPS Alumiloy 15 awg input signal wire
* Silver plated Teflon wire used throughout

Voicing is being performed with Valve Art KT88 and Chinese EL34 output tubes, JJ 12AU7 input and EH 12AT7 driver tubes.

Here's a few more pictures of the prototype. I haven't installed the feedback or triode switch yet. Custom units will be a bit deeper than what is shown here due to the larger size of the new transformers coming in.

I have had a few emails about teh transformers being exposed. As I mentioned, these are only prototypes and once we start taking orders, there will be a hardwood cover over the bach 2/3's of the chassis. I will make one for these prototypes as well but it could be some time before I get to it.
