Geoff gets a new amp!

[JoeE SP9]

Talk about eye candy! That's one nice looking amp. It must have some real grunt power. Having a "shake yer booty" party with it driving Maggie 3.6R's says a lot of good things about it.

. For once I agree with "Pixie". You should get rid of that antique. Send it to me so I can dispose of it properly.

Hi Joe, thanks! Yes, this is one pretty piece, but it's not all skin deep looks. The internal build is at least as good as any tube amp I've ever seen.

Joe, the guy I bought it from, is one of the "gurus" of tubes. (he had quite literally 100's of NOS tubes everywhere!) Before he even agreed to sell me the amp I had to learn the ways of perfecting bias. To say this guy was a perfectionist is really an understatement. Taking about 15 minutes and several readings we got the bias for all 8 tubes within .5%. That's 1/2 of 1 percent! With his tube rolling to an all NOS front end he has really tweaked this amp to about as good as I could imagine anyone could, and it shows!

Guys like him love projects, and I am the happy recipient of this one. Now if I can just get him to make one of his walnut plinth TT!
