This is the only manfactured 8877 amplifier that has no vhf parasitic
suppressor whatsoever. I have spoken with owners who have had stability
problems that resulted in sudden tube failure. It is not uncommon to
find AL-1500 owners who had two catastrophic tube failures during the
warranty period. The designer of the 1500. blames all tube failures in
the AL-1500 on Eimac.
