    Both you guys do really nice work!
    I've been toying with the idea of one of these myself. I've got a TenTec 425, uses a pair of 3CX800-A7's, and the tubes are getting pretty soft. I'm having a real hard time justifying the tube replacement cost on this one. Eimac tubes are about $1600/pair, and Chinese tubes are about $900/pair. On the used market, the entire amp is in the $1500 range with good tubes.

    Anybody care to do some close collaboration on a conversion?
