interesting. it would sure make upgrading a snap.
If the shipping cost - USPS Priority Mail Intl $156.50 - wasn't to expensive i would love to make one of those classic amps.
Tanx for sharing.
I have already over spent my budget, I am a big fan of James Bongiorno, I have had SAE (I still have the 2900 pre in operation, the 3100 power amp needs some TLC), and GAS, I still use my Thoebe preamp, I had a Sansui CA-3000 prior to it, after switching to the Thoebe I never looked back, I have watched some Thaedra's but they go to high. For a number of years I ran a pair of Sons of Ampzilla in my main system and still think they have wonderful sound I have just recently gone on a power hungry craze, I have not yet been able to bring myself to part with the 2 Sons though thinking I may go back someday, but I doubt it, POWER! Ampzilla is a strong 200+ amplifier but I have an Adcom waiting for some TLC, I have great hopes from what I have heard from people about it.
Anyway, I find this piece to be an interesting piece of history, I think it is going to go pretty high, besides, I know I don't have the skill levels to do justice to it.
