[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1413983, member: 555251"] Now that I perfectly agree with [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I hate the automatic assumption that all vacuum tube gear is overpriced - because of that very phenomenon you described. Sure, I could spend $3k on a pair of Welborne Labs monoblocks or some other "audiophile approved" brand name that advertises in Stereophool or TAS. But why, when I could buy a kit from Bottlehead or Decware and build it myself for a tiny fraction of that, or scratch-build something for even less? Doesn't make sense, unless he gets part of his e-penis from the name and/or is too lazy to DIY. A single-ended 2A3 amp, if the same transformers and components are used, is going to sound just like any other 2A3 amp that uses those same parts; I'd rather not have the name and have the cash in my wallet [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
