[Amps] Can I cool too much the tubes?

[Rudy Bakalov]

New Alpha was more of a figure of speech, referring to a no-limit key-down legal limit amp. I agree that the early Alphas are much better. I am also thinking of the now Palstar Commander, OM Power, or even the new Chinese amp (the OM Power copy) that got so many people involved in passionate discussions in late July.
As for the contest, I will be barefoot, SOSB 40 LP.

It's up to you whether or not 400 w. is enough, but in my opinion a
new Alpha is not the answer if you want a really robust amp.  If you
can afford a new Alpha you can afford an old one back before they
tried to jam everything into a teeny desk-top cabinet, or an old
Henry, or two, or homebrewing one in a rack....maybe an old TMC or
Collins commercial communications amp...
