Pathos Logos!

The Teles E88CC aren't that expensive. Take a look at www.machmat.com
He sometimes has some. Very reliable seller.

I don't see any there right now. He has a lot of others at good prices though. I'm thinking about getting those Mullards - I always used Mullard 12AX7s in my guitar amp, and they were killer.

That's a good choice too. I just like the clarity of the Tele's.Lot's of scope now.

I'd love to get some Telefunkens - if you see some that don't cost $300/tube, let me know.
Thanks.

Been listening to it a while now on the MMG's, I really like it -- plenty of low end, and I don't have to crank it to 95!

More thoughts after I've had a chance to listen for a couple days.

Can't wait to hear what this thing sounds like on the 1.6's.

Well after only a couple hours I can say the Logos *definitely* handles bass with a lot more authority. It's significantly louder and more controlled than with the Classic One.

Overall the amp is just a heckuva lot beefier.

I think highs were possibly a bit clearer and more delicate with the Classic One, but I can't really tell if I just noticed them more with less prominent bass.

Well the Logos is twice the price so it better be different! Enjoy ;-)

Will do. In the meantime, if you want, I have a matched pair of Harma Diamond 6922 (made a big improvement to the stock Sovteks) you can have. Just sent me a PM with your address and I sent them to you.

Have musical weekend

Well I've been listening to the amp for a day and a half now, and I have to say -- there's something not quite right: The highs are really harsh at times. When there's something like a soprano, a trumpet, or high piano, it can be quite unpleasant, grating and almost painful to listen to if it's at all loud.

I would be tempted to say it's the room (I have hardwood floors and a fair number of windows), but I haven't experienced this with other amps. The Classic One is very sweet and pleasant at all frequencies, and it's sitting in the same room. The sound of the Classic One makes me want to turn it up, while high frequencies on the Logos make me want to turn it down.

Is it possible that with the greater amount of power, the amp is pushing out more volume at the high frequencies (as well as the low), and that's making my room issues more audible?

I'm going to wait until the 1.6's are here to make any decisions, but it's clear I may have to do some adjustments if I want to keep the Logos. I'm really hoping I can get it to sound like the Classic One, only with a little more volume and bass.
