    I did it again...

    ...and not feeling sorry! I got a DeHavilland pre/power combination for evaluation at home, these are direct-heated SETs with plenty of power even to the extent of driving my Avalons at more than decent peak levels without strain (I recorded peaks of 95dB). The best of both worlds were my...
