Elecraft already has a prototype ! Isn't there a FinFet amp too ?

Don't assume that the next amp will use a tube at all. My Herc II may be old
technology, but the solid-state world has advanced significantly. If I were
allowed a wish here, it would be for a solid-state, full-legal-power,
no-tune amp that follows the Omni VI+ & VII, Jupiter, Orion I & II with band
changes just as the Herc II does.
Call it a Hercules III if you want, or any other name TenTec chooses. Just
as long as it follows the TenTec traditions of quality, QSK and solid
performance. It's a shame it'll match the new rigs instead of my Omni VI+

Let's hope TT doesn't use even cheaper Chinese tubes
in the next Titan. It would be the Titan IV (Not IIII) :-)

The Titan IIII ????
Wondering if TenTec will be replacing the Titan III with another high end
amp.
We can certainly hope if they do they revert back to the original Titan
model that ran the 3CX800A7's Or maybe I better light build a amp that
run's
the 3CX1500A7 (8877) tube.
What ever they do I hope they will not continue down the Russian cheap
surplus tube market. Many claim that the 8877 tube will be in production
for the next 20 years.
It is a tube that has proven it self rather well.
Maybe TenTec will make an Amp that uses a tube that will remain in
production and hence not keep building amp's that are expensive and offer
a
limited life time for replacement tubes.
