Twins, guys.  A bit expensive TCO, but definitely going to get you that last 5% out of your system.

Amazing that you collectively have SN #2 and #3.  I wonder whose amp I'm gonna get to hear first.  Or will they be in the same room when it happens?

I only heard the 2A3 prototype on the same day I heard S7 prototype and BA.  I made my deposit on the S7.


The 2A3 did not grab my attention and not at the price, but I understand that both the S7 and 2A3 were changed for the better and I can say that production S7 sounded FAR better with stock tubes than stock Tung Sols did on the prototype.


purrin and Anaxilus may have more experience with the latest 2A3...

One of the biggest "kick myself" moments in this hobby for me was not buying Craig's prototype Nautilus amp when I had the chance. It was a one-off that was similar to the Balancing Act but had speaker taps. It looked more like the Super 7 than the BA tho.

I wish I had bought that amp. Ugh.

The other amp, EESC or EECS, that was a nice amp as well for a solid state. Nice change from the Eddie current sound.

That the tiny one?  If so you are being quite generous.  I think that's probably the worst amp he's ever made and he knows it.  I don't think he could figure out what to offer at that price point.  I know he plans to make a Darkstar killer which I'm fairly confident will be just that.
