If you love 6L6GC tube based amplifiers: Check out Pine Tree Audio's new SET design

Pine Tree Audio just released their new Earth Tones SE tube amplifier. I am flabbergasted with performance of this 6L6GC / 12AU7 tube SET design which is superlative - beautiful tonality/colors, totally transparent allowing all the details to shine through, excellent dynamics and bass control for a SET, and 3D imaging with great air between individual images in the sound-stage. Now , here's the "punchline" it sells for $995! Built in the US with excellent parts/construction. Congrats Jesse, you nailed this, with an unbelievable price tag.

I've heard great things about this company, their cables and power supplies.  It's got me interested in this as my first serious tube amp

Looks like the price went up to $1195 and the description says 7 watts instead of 5 that I thought it said before.

received my 7W earth tones amp today with custom front power switch.  It sounds incredible, has that holographic realism I expected from tubes, sounds very dynamic, like it has way more than 7 watts!

I'm so glad I chose this as my first serious tube amp.  the push pull tube integrated I had a few years ago really did nothing for me, but this single ended point to point amp has the magic I was hoping for

I was on a list to be notified when they became available again.  That was many months ago.  I was never notified that they were back in stock.  Seems like an amp I would use in rotation with my upstairs two channel system currently being powered by the superb AudioVanAlstine NP1 55 wpc solid state amp.
