Contrast/compare 50W tube amps

Thanks Boa2, I understand that Mike builds these as a "custom" product $5800).I don't suppose these come up for sale very often?? The 6-C33C-Bs were always one of my favorite tubes.Any exposure to them used in an OTL?

I have some issues with the Cary gear,would rather consider the VAC Renaissanceor PHI series.
Same for the ARC and CJ,both have an identifiable signature on the music.Sorry -don't wish to offend!
Thanks for the observations.The GM-70 and Quickies are moving to the Front-of-the-Pack.
No further comment on the Atma-Shere/OTL route??

The EL-34 based amps are certainly sweet,but lack top-bottom extension.Though like the midrange.
I am sorry to say that CJ gear has a signature and doesn't resolve down to the noise-floor.Have had their units in,while having equipment repaired.It glazed over some information IMHO.
I am heavily leaning toward a less used (unfamiliar sounding??) tube output (6C33C-b/GM-70).
The revised Gallo is a detailed ,somewhat ruthless speaker,the OBs have more "body" and fullness (will post a picture soon).
Thank you for ALL the contributions ,so far.
Still no OTL comments??

I listed minimum impedance for each speaker being used.
I mich prefer the 88s,as opposed to either 34s/6550.The Prima Luna(kt-88) I currently use seems to better the AHT/VIVA set-up previously used.
Any Transcendant "The Beast" owners/builder-DIYers??

I have purchased a pair of Transcendant Sound T-8 monoblocks at 80W/CH.I will report my findings as things progress.Much room for modifications.These amps are spec-ing out wonderfully>>.1mv DC offset.I understand that once you find a good workong set of PL-509s,you are in business for a good period of time.

Forgive me,the tube is the EL-509.
Hiend2 Would you disclose the web address and exactly what Arthur is picking.??

Thank you Atmasphere for the web link.Though I'm not sure the same synergy would apply to my system ,as it does to Arthurs'.Every one is entitled to their opinions (right or wrong).

I have noticed,of late,that those expressing an unpopular point of view or not falling in line are being silenced by a barrage of insulting comments.I,personally,have accused of being unprofessional and my credibility tarnished.I don't intend to point any fingers.My responses to these members have not seen the light of day,due to moderators discretion.This site seemed to be a free-flowing forum,where everyone was intitled to their opinions-no longer
For the record:I am a Walker Audio dealer,although I spend the majority of my time selling Omega Mikro.I had decided not to be a vendor for electronics as I feel their are too many flavors to choice from and with the current trend to proclaim certain brands as better or best.there is the chance of getting caught holding the proverbal "hot potato".I have had much exposure to many brands,especially during my stint at Salon 1 Audio (over 500 brands-I was front-end manager).It seems my small part in this industry has caused some to doubt my honesty.Many of them being "vendors" also.But I will not allow others who are vendors to smear my name or cause second guessing,when they themselves are not disclosing their standings in the industry.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to depart this environment for my own piece of mind.Music will always be a BIG portion of my life,but squabbling with other WILL NOT.I fully intend to relinquish my sales position by January 1.2007,after my contractial agreement ends.I will make a last post on the wonderful OTLs that I acquired,but will no longer venture into the forum posts.
My decision is final .
