Well seems like a nice way to break in the new Sonicaps..... What a roller coaster of up and downs. Sounding really nice at the moment. So I thought I would share some photos...:D

These were built for me by a great man that I am proud to call my friend. I feel like I have missed something if I don't talk to him at least every other day. Will Vincent. Those who know him know what I am talking about. He has been building tube amps and repairing audio gear for .... Well lets just say a long damn time. LOL He may never read this but I still want everyone to know what a great guy he is.

Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

    Interesting, his own circuit? That's a hefty tranny for a choke in a 6L6 amp.

    Cheers,

    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Will Vincent's build quality and Baldwin knowledge is second to none.
    Will also builds and refurbs many tube amps including Dynaco's, Allen, etc. He does some of the best looking powder coating in about any color desired.
    The Baldwins with 6L6s are bass monsters and talk about amps full of music...
    Congrats Jerry on the new mono Baldwins.

    Hi Russ, that's a very good question.
    I am not sure about the circuit design. Next time I talk to Will I will ask him. :D
    They run the 2.3tl's with ease. I am very surprised. :D
