Painfully virile
Hi everyone
I’m new to valve amplifiers having just got myself a pair of Transcendent Sound Pinnacle OTL amps - which are truly superb by the way. A dealer friend of mine sent me a very expensive Kondo 300B amplifier to test but the Pinnacles spanked the Kondo’s bottom in every area.
Anyhoo, there are 2 x JJ 803’s and one JJ802’s in each amp driving 4 x EH Gold Grid 300B’s. Question is how much do they input valves contribute to the sound and would it be worth trying a couple of different brands?
