Stumbled across a pair of Tomcat Audio amps. Hammond winders. Accepts a plethora of power tubes....
I have a few days back in NC coming up. All I'm gonna do is sit on my patootie and listen.
My warehouse manager has them set up on a pair of Amphions. The source will change as sobriety will allow.
Stay tuned.
