Best amps I ever heard

[Gervais Cote]

Friend of mine had a Copeland, pre power with valves thingy, lovely chocalatty sound, till his dog peed on it and it was never the same after that.

Is the dog still alive ???

I assume the radiator is turned off!

It’s a air conditioning/cooling system to compensate for the amp generated heat ! LOL !

In winter the dog normally sits between the amps. The smell of overheated JRT was annoying us both so we moved him and his bed for the summer.

Audionet Humboldt, I'm lucky enough to listen to it everyday.

Funnily enough that's one of the TV's my old man was part of the RnD team for.

At Ferguson in Bradford?
I think that became Eldon Technology and then Echostar... and now nothing :-(

 

[Cereal Killer]

Yes!! on Eldon Place just off the beginning of Manningham lane in the city centre... the whole area is rather derelict now, my folks still live by Saltaire so i do see the city once or twice a year... He started with them in 1973 IIRC at the Beckside Road site when they were Baird/EMI and they made everything by hand, my mum was on the PCB manufacturing line for a few years too, till they moved production to the east. - you have some history with them?

 

[S-Man]

Yes, I worked for an electronic components disti and then Toshiba Electronic Components and used to visit Eldon. I think Microvitec also had some ex-Ferguson guys.

Small world eh? Well, small country

Yes indeed they did (and it really is ), the founding group were my old mans colleagues. They all had the option of moving to Paris when Philips bought them but most turned it down due to 'kids in school' etc.

Well I've not heard anywhere near enough amps but best solid state amps I've heard are some of the Belles range at Tony's place (Coherent) and for tubes I would say the Border Patrol 300bse up at Kevin's (Deffinitve audio) and I really really like Guy's Puresound MA845 monos.
