    This was only 3-4 years in the making. I'm a bit slow in getting projects off the ground when I'm breaking new ground. It was worth the wait. Believe it or not it powers the Simplex/M19 stacks and the 604s with ease. All of 2.5 WPC...

    Sorry...this one.

    Agreed, looks like the OPT's are the ones with end bells directly behind the 2A3's, or maybe those are the ones Alien is asking about............................

    Oops. Sorry I missed this part of the thread. The OPTs are Transendars.

    As far as my hot rod amp, I should clarify that my amp is a prototype that Dennis used to absolutely push the envelope as to what a 6BQ5 tube will do. IIRC, this will do about 8 WPC, while even his new high output Fire Bottle amp will only put out six. I may up the cathode resistors a little just to add a little piece of mind because as one of the other poster noted, it's hard to enjoy the music when you always have an eye on the tubes....
