## agreed. A chinese 8877 is the ticket. Only drawback is the 3 min
fil warm up...moot point. The alpha 9500 auto tune with the chinese 8877
in it, is overall, a big bang for the buck. Like Bill sez, buy one used, keep
it for
5-10 years, and sell it for what you paid for it. Cost of ownership = zero.
Why alpha did not use an 8877 in their manual tune alpha 8410 is beyond me,
dumb move on alphas engineering dept. They saved nothing by using a pair of
chinese
4CX-1500Bs. 2 tubes, 2 expensive sockets, regulated screen and grid supply, 2
chimneys
