Radu is an awesome guy. I bought a 4p1L preamp from him and he did some repairs to a different pre I owned. Would love to hear one of his 300b amps in my system.

Yep. I had him custom-build my preamp to match the amp. These two purchases are the best audio decisions I made in 25 years of this hobby. The upgrade path for me would be like climbing Kilimanjaro -- the price is waaayyy too steep, so I'm happy with what I have.

What is that huge black box filament supply?

Yeah, that's the 52-pound (23.5 kilos) power supply for the amp.

Ampex 6973 mono blocks, these were given to me a couple of years ago. I have replaced all the caps and out of spec resistors.

Great amplifiers!

I had a stereo version for a few years (sold it recently - to fund a Magnavox 6BQ5 SEP project) and looked for a pair of these, but the ones I saw were either in poor condition, asking too much, or both.

Wow I unaware you was a heavy weight audiophile.

My favorite tube Amp depends on speakers used. I like Alan Eaton, Audio Hungary, Benchmark, Warp-1.
