- Like to hear some opinions on the new Centurian versus the Titan III . If I am gonna order the Centurian , I want to do it this week. 1. 1000-1200 watts versus 1500 watts is not an issue for me . 2.

- I have owned a Centurion for years, I don't remember how long but over 5 years I know. I bought it used and with the original tubes in it. It will make at least 1300 watts with 100 in on all bands ex

- Jim - I totally agree that 1000 or 1200 watts versus 1500 will never make any difference on HF. Glad to hear about the lack of arcing. I was somewhat concerned about the QST review that said they had

- Harry, I have had a Centurion for 5 years. I bought it used and it's ten years old. Ive not had any problems that point to design flaws. Its never arced or sparked nor given me anything but excellent

- Hank, I don't like amps which use tubes that require safety protection circuitry. This is not a Ten-Tec issue but rather a tube selection issue. Use a pair of 3-500's and keep an eye on the grid curr

- As much as I like the Centurion, go for the Titan III. Why? The 3-500Z's put out by RF Parts and used in the Centurion just aren't as stout as the GU-400B's used in a number of amps today. You're rig

- Is the Centurian essentially instant on? I have an AL-80B and a AL-1500. I tend to almost exclusively use the 80B because I can just set the load and tune, flip on the amp and in about ten seconds be

- Ten Tec has been selling Centurions for a long time and probably sold a lot of them. I have been very happy with mine. It was originally sold in June 1995 to K7TS who, as I recall, replaced it with a

- It is "instant on" (i.e., 3-500Z filament heat time - I usually gave mine about 5 seconds minimum), and it is very quiet unless your high voltage crowbar lever rattles against the top cover. That is
