My first tube amplifier was a *used* MC275. Today a classic. It was a trade in.. I used to sell audio and was also able to secure with a salesman's accommodation a new Luxman tube amp. Back then they were not well known. No one knew about burning in equipment back then, and the AC quality was raw. So, the Luxman was given a quick listen and sold, as the MC275 remained the head rooster.
The MC275 was impressive with KEF 104ab's. Tube amps did not have good bass control. Their damping factor was weak,. It was years before I liked certain solid state. Yet,finally one Class D amp gave me a certain quality that reminded me of the MC275, but with superb bass control. Now, its a tube preamp, but Class D amp.
