Hi Patrick. First of all I am not knocking QRO. I just have zero
experience with their products AND the 4CX800 Svetlana tube. I wish them
good luck.
I suspect that the tube is excellent since all the Alpha 91b complaints
that I am aware of are not tube related.
I honestly suspect that half (pick ur own number) of Alpha's customer
complaints are cockpit problems. There seems to be an inverse
relationship to the financial level of the customer and technical
skills....Show me a lawyer that can read a manual!
Also remember that I only see an amp in here after the warranty is over!
Which brings me back to my original question.....why give up an AL-1200?
