Matthews Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I am not going to build a amp. I want to unpack & play! Tool Shed Audio is amazing with La Scala - certainly a worthwhile investigation... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Does anyone have a pair of brook 12a & preamps. The great PWK used some modified Brook 12A amps I believe. Would be nice if you could find some reasonably priced. My 2A3 amps are Welborne Labs Moondogs. I am the fourth owner, so I didn't have to build mine. How loud do you listen and what styles of music? That can also play into what you get. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I see that you like King Crimson Any amp that uses EL 34 tubes for melow + detail or KT 66 / KT 88 tubes for Rock thump and detail I use and recommend this King Crimson Track as a test Bolero Remix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 My Fastlane Elliptrac modded KHorns have proven to sound best for My Liking with the 2a3. I'm still a bit astounded at the combination of detail, soundstage, proper bass and crystal highs afforded from 3.5 watts. I have KT66/88 and EL84 on these Horns and prefer the 2a3 (84's a close second). Trying to shy from pimping a particular brand the best I've heard on Belle and Cornwall Heritage is the 6C33 Russian brute of a power tube run single ended at 45 watts from Audio Mirror. The best sound for me bar none and I'll most likely end up with a pair for the KHorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So sounds like I can put the schizoid face on them ? He will put whatever you like on them! I would strongly suggest contacting TS Matt. Sounds like the Genesis 6 may be right up your ally. TS Matt's contact information is on the Tool Shed web page. Give him a shout, great guy to work with. His work is out of this world and more affordable than you may think Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can customize the front plate with coordinating graphics too - maybe the Discipline or Lark's Tongue graphics on the front plate! Like Matt says - it's whatever you'd like. TS Matt is a lot of fun to work with and is very accommodating! Lots of different wood and metal options to make it your "last amplifier purchase". Check 'em out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkane Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There's a Macintosh 275 here along with an ASL EL34 pp, a BH 2a3SET and a custom pair of 2a3 mono's. The mac sits as does the EL34pp amp. Pushin modded Cornwalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blvdre Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've had success with what are now kind of unobtainium: Wright Sound WPA 3.5 mono blocks (which I regrettably sold), and my current Don Allen 6q5 single-ended monoblocks. Both very nice sounding options. The Wrights were 2a3 based, and my preference of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
