    Damn it man she is pretty.  You have no idea how much I want to try this amp and how much my wife does NOT want me to try it :( 

     

    I had a pair of thor 30 watt monos years ago which were the BEST EL34 amp's I had / have ever heard.  That sound stays with me and I am always trying to find it again. Everytime I see a new EL34 based amp I chomp at the bit Could it be :wacko:

     

    I have a couple SET amps I am trying to move 1 if I can do that I will hit you up.  Joe

    I really appreciate the compliment, Joe. I wish I could compare this one to something else, but honestly, I just don't have a ton of experience with tube amps. I can say that what really blew me away the first time I heard this Cantabile is how much headroom it has and how upfront the bass was on my Klipschorns. 

     

    If you are able to sell an amp and have further interest, don't hesitate to reach out.

    Peter, you made me spit my cereal out this morning!

     

    I know we can't lean on a Stereophile review too heavily, but this amp is truly a brick shi*house. Their comments about build quality are spot on.  It's not fussy, either, which I like. I still use solid state stuff because of its "plug n play" characteristics, but I've had this tube amp for about 15 years and have enjoyed the hell out of it.

    My sincere apologies, Joe. I appreciate your interest and patience, too. If you have interest in the amp, shoot me a PM and I can tell you the story of how I purchased it directly from a Nobis employee.

    Pics man I am waiting for the Pics.  I read the linked review and it sounds like a good amp. The reviewer also gushed over the appearance, I have never seen the amp and would like to :) :emotion-21:

    Joe, good to hear from you! I completely jumped the gun on this post...hoping to get the amp from my Dad's house tonight and get some photos posted. My apologies for leaving you hanging!

    I'm not surprised to get you never had a return,  Andy. Even while posting, you're detail orientated and particular about getting facts straight. 

     

    You should start a new thread about the day in the life of HDBRBuilder while at Klipsch. Seriously.

    Those were probably built by the brother-in-law pair of builders:  Charles Horn and Ronnie Barham who seldom put their initials on what they built, then...since they are from 1976!

    Okay, what a great tidbit. Are speakers with a letter A built by YOU?

    No such thing as LaScala DECORATORS...they were either LaScalas or they weren't!

    Andy, I appreciate you setting me straight on that. I've always described Heritage speakers that came from the factory without a grill as decorators, but I understand completely that the serial number description for these doesn't have any sort of "decorator" designation.

     

    For anyone else who reads this, you will not regret paging through some of Andy's posts. He was here when I signed up in the late '90s and is a wealth of knowledge. Most guys from that era don't come around here any more, for a variety of reasons, but it is damn nice to see Andy posting regularly again. Back in the day, he was the only "golden age" Klipsch employee on the board and has great PWK stories, insight into build strategy, and hints to make our speakers sound better. Each member's posts are archived though our profiles and some should almost be required reading for members to get an idea of where this forum came from.

     

    Thanks again.

    Sorry tidmack, I meant to ping [mention=72524]djcindc[/mention] and I incorrectly grabbed your name from your post in djcindc’ thread.
     
    on another note, does Madisound have a retail store, and, if so, have you ever been there?  I’ve always been impressed by them.


    No worries at all! If I were closer, I'd be in to assist. I'm a transplant, from the Milwaukee area originally. I will check out Madisound sometime, I am not familiar with them.
