I'm in the middle of looking for a new preamp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Never go seperates, you'll always be swapping one thing or the other out, lol...

How much something like that run?

http://www.enjoythemusic.com/Magazine/equipment/0204/almarroa318a.htm

$1,500 new.

They also make a little brother to that one, that uses EL84 tubes in pentode mode...I think that one is $850ish or so. I've looked into that company before, that amp was familiar...

Nice...a little out of my price range, especially when my friend's son bashes one of those tubes with a hammer. I still like the looks of it, but I doubt I could distingish the sound. We have too many sonic booms at work for stuff like that.

RIP RMS clamp meter.

I believe it runs around $1800.00 new. I bought mine as a dealer demo. Many of the finest tube amps come from China and Japan. This one is from China. Just search for "Almarro." You wouldn't believe the slam this amp puts on an efficient 8ohm or higher speaker. SET or single ended triode amps tend to draw you into the music instead of laying it infront of you. Vocalist, instruments and musicians are right in your room with a good recording. This amp is not sluggish like many low powered tube amps.
