Customer Comments:

"I came across Scott’s amps on Etsy while searching for a quality single-ended EL34 design to pair with my Klipsch Heresy IVs. The overall design and specs caught my attention, but what really intrigued me was the use of oversized output transformers and a generously spec’d power transformer at this price point — something you rarely see outside of far more expensive builds.  I often listen at low volumes in the evenings, and Scott’s amp easily fills my mid-sized room with dynamics, detail, and surprising punch even at 55–60 dB. The switchable triode/ultralinear modes are a great feature; in my system, ultralinear adds bass weight and grip without collapsing the soundstage. Over the years, I’ve owned amps in the $2k–$6k range, yet this compact 22-pound design has earned a permanent place in my system. Scott, thank you for building such a musical and well-engineered amp."

"The sound, coupled with the dead quiet background noise, was highly dynamic and conveyed an effortless sense of accurate imaging and enormous soundstage. I was simply shocked at the performance of this unit and its pinpoint imaging throughout the listing area."

"If you are considering an SET amplifier, I would highly encourage you to give this amplifier a try, it is very well constructed, competitively priced, and simply sounds terrific! In fact, I enjoyed this SET amp so much that I decided to have Scott build me a duplicate 2nd unit; what more can be said!!"

- Chris, Florida

"Recently took a chance and purchased this tube amp from Scott. WOW ! so glad that i did, This amp is phenomenal, Better than my 8k Luxman tube amp (MQ88). Dead quiet, amazing control, best midrange of any amp. This is pure magic, do yourself and your ears a favor and purchase one of Scott's amps. A true hidden gem. THANK YOU Scott !"

- Ken, Pennsylvania

"Astonishing to jazz to classical and my turntable was silent I’m so amazed that this much sound is filling my room; I have compared this to my $7,500.00 Triode Labs amplifier and it is just right there; I’m going to let some of my friends in on this secret amp that is so well built, and I love the control it has over my bass"

- Mike, New York

"Now my system sounds so life like. Just like the old jazz clubs we use to have around here. I'm very impressed."

- John, Ohio

"I thought the amplifier sounded great ( actually super ). It sounded very musical ( i.e. very natural ), Very easy to listen to. The music was transparent and had a great soundstage. The best I have heard these songs on my horn speakers. Vocals were the clearest I have ever heard."

- Graham, Queensland, Australia

"What an amazing tube amp this is! Exceptional build quality. Bass is punchy and clean. Midrange presentation is warm and fluid but never syrupy. 5 stars all around."

- Scott, Utah
