I thought I had made it clear but guess not. My contention is that the
1600B is not the best choice for a first amp....I was not discussing
experienced builders.
Also I would expect any serious builder to have complete grid and screen
protection circuitry, considering the ratings, along with a G3SEK style
screen regulator to give the IMD all the help it can get.
