IF it sounds good, yes, a fun quirk,

but if I knew, that doesn't give a lot of confidence. They say they have units all over the world. They have had time to notice themselves.

True. There's just something home-brew about it that's charming.

I wanted vintage, small, tubes,

but, this SS caught my attention.

loaded with features (except auto-loudness for low volume listening). see front and back.

the built-in mc variable loading a big draw, and I like my L-Pads, for speakers with no adjustments, the 3 band tone control should perk or tame for any space live or dead. see bypass ye purists!

Commie rig.

Gosh, cmariner1.
How interesting and insightful!
And on only your second post. One can but hope all your future remarks will be as profound...
