Roger,
I have an Emtron amp for the last few years. I had some initial
problems, some internal shipping damage, but it is working fine now.
Emtron has one of the best warranties that I know of. They changed from
the Russian tubes because these tubes are now hard to get. I do have a
spare but may never need to use it. I visited their assembly facility
last October when I was in Sydney and met with Rudi, the owner, and Dan,
their control board designer. It is not a large operation and they do
it part time and they do a good job. If you ever need to contact Rudi,
phone him, he does not like email. I would recommend an Emtron amp
because of Rudi and Dan and their good warranty and their good product.
Doug
I'll run the race and I will never be the same again.

Saw the actual amp, or photos on their page?
I understand hey recently made a change from the single Russian tubes to
a pair of the Chinese FU728s. I don't know the reasoning behind that
change.
There are bound to be some on here who have used them.
IIRC the FU728 is like a 4CX-1000 but will run a bit more power. I have
a couple on order.
