[Amps] Amps Digest, Vol 167, Issue 38

[Gary Smith]

Umm...warm and comfortable, but not smokin'. Maybe the lower edge of the 
plates go from red towards white.  I run the amp at spec, but I don't 
beat the pants off of it.  1.5k+- a few Po on my Wavenode wattmeter.

Didn't know it at the time of ordering, was pleasantly surprised when I 
opened the box the xfrmr arrived in was a Peter Dahl.
