    ^That's why i take threads such as these as a guideline, and nothing more.

    Not one person ever recommended my amp to me, but i listened to it anyways, and i love it for the money.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    Have you ever tried MIT's?

    When was the last time you heard a tube rig other than old Dynaco or Heathkit gear?

    I'm on the MIT demo list...then I'll have heard them.

    I've had my ears on many hi-end tube rigs.

    Neither question has anything to do with my post. Never heard an old Dynaco or Heathkit though. ;)

    Sure there are more than that.



    I was just goofing on the whole thread to begin with. I have no real input on EMO amps but I, like many just want to get in the action (after the thread is already Done of course) :)

    So next time you have to take a crap that just don't want to come out, just push real hard saying EEEMMOOTIVA "splash wipe then flush"

    Figure you might be pushing about 250 watts of brain cells but the clarity in the end will be worth it.

    These are really productive to the discussion.

    Why even bother coming here and replying? If you have nothing good to say about something, move on. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads that may benefit from your knowledge of other products and experiences.

    Thanks.

    Well.... if everyone only posted the good things, then nobody would know what to buy....

    And this thread went south a long time ago. There's no saving it now.

    Toolforlifefan does have experience with an Emotiva amp, if i remember correctly.
