Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?

I see there have been a couple of previous posts regarding the 50A or hearing it at the last RMAF, but has anyone actually purchased the 50A? Any thoughts?

I've talked to Kara about the Aries 845, but due to my rather large listening room she suggested that the 50A has a little more authority in the bass and mid-bass and is equally as sweet. I don't know, there's really something special about those 845 tubes.

Thanks for an opinions or insights...

I think you would much prefer the 50A's, not just because of their bass but the entire range. Very rich and textured with single ended type voices and instruments and sound stage and focus and natural sound and no grain and no glare and non fatiguing and ...........

This is a great thread. I use my name, Sounds Real Audio every time I leave a thread. I can't be clearer then that.

You must take Audiofall's advice and take what he says with a grain of salt, in every regard.

You are correct. Anytime a dealer/manufactures makes any statement smart readers should weigh the statements made.

In addition since Audiogon is a place where people sell their used gear even though they are not dealers/manufactures, readers should be skeptical of these posts as well.

The room at the RMAF where Dpe heard the 50A's was the deHavilland and Sounds Real Audio room so I don't think it is "evil" to jump in here with a little knowledge.
