Yep I'm liking the TAD's a lot. Very similar to SED's... which I usually use but have doubled in price since the last time I bought some. $100 per pair? wtf....
This amp is "based" on a 5E3...but is fixed bias, using 6L6s, custom wound transformers. It's a very beefed up or "clean headroom" version of a 5e3.
