... and my wife came back home the other day and noticed my SE 3.5-watter had been gone. Than asked a question: "Where is the amp?!" "I gave it to my friend" - I answered.
"Sooo... Kids are at my Mom's, you are out of office. Finish the one you have been working for weeks until Jan, 6th! Go!"
My beloved wife

Well dear its like this...I have to listen to a PP amp and compare it to a very good quality SE amp then I will know which is best...

Since my 2822 amp is up & running now, along with my 'proof of concept" OB set-up on the computer..........she is even more confused than ever with the 600mA worth of sound. This makes the 3W 12B4 SE project that much better in her eyes. I hadn't yet let her in on the "amp-on-a-chip" concept.........that's really not where I want to steer her. Glowing tubes, heat et.al...that's where I'm going. Now, getting that 115 Db worth of 80s' Metal sound, with 3W, that's the next challenge.

I make the money. She gets the money.I take the credit card order what i think is reasonable.Then spend the next week telling her what a fine mother,good looking woman and wonderful wife she is all the while dodging various cast iron cooking utensils. Then i finish the project. Her friends come by comment on how great it sounds and beautiful it looks she gets to brag that me and our 6 year old son built it. All is well then it starts again. Ah the circle of life.
Happy New Year to all.

I already had 'too many' amps when we met (is there such a thing as too many amps?).
I still can't explain why. It's a condition, it's fun, it's like oxigen...
-"But why build more?"
-"Ehhmm.... Just finishing up some old parts I have."
-"But you are ordering new parts!"
-"Those are just a few small things to complete that amp."
While going through the stash thinking: I forgot I had those two valves. These need some extra parts...
"Why don't you just sell them instead of spending more on parts?"
" these are very old and rare and exceptionally good and..."
"Worth much?"
"Nah"
