I think they are to protect you and the 304TL's.... Jesus.... My GP has some of them that they used in radar stations and world talk AM transmitters from WWII.....

Hey you know I want to spend $42,000 on a pair of 200 Watt tube amps when it's some what hard to get the 304TL's. Especially since there is no substitution for them either....

HAHA I wish that every day of my life.... I'm thinking my next upgrade is going to be my sub.... This little MartinLogan Dynamo is starting to get on my nerves, the 703's can totally out drive it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Sure, the tube is $10...

Bet those output transformers are in the $500 range each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That's one of the benefits of using common tubes, you don't need custom-wound transformers and chokes...how many other 340TL amps do you see out there? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Stereo amp could be DIY'ed for under $2k

I'm too poor for OTLs, I'd rather pay the money up front and retube 2 tubes per channel every three years rather than 20 tubes at a time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But you can't really beat them for the wow-factor...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
