Seems the only Elna office in the region under which the Philippines fall is Singapore.

But if you do find a grey retailer please pm me.

I was hoping there is a way to obtain elna caps without going the online route, plan to just tweak my power amp since no one seems to be interested ::)

Sometimes you can get lucky at Deeco in Raon. About 2 months ago I bought 20 pieces of elna silmic (47uf 25V, ok for cathode bypass?) for P60 bucks, 50 pieces of Nichicon fine gold (100uf 25V) for about P65.

Uyyyy!  Meron akong kilalang me bagong AMX PP amp.  Heheh.  Congrats, bro.  Enjoy your new toy!

BTW, was at Phasetron last night & saw several new amps.  Isang KT-88 based PP, isang 2A3-based PP, at isang 2A3-based SET.

I got to hear the 2A3 amps.  Initial impression, ganda ng mids especially on vocals & sax/piano tracks.  Balanse din ang bass & highs at ayos ang detalye.  All-in-all, they're decent sounding amps.  I liked the SET better, though, as I find it more "malambing" than the PP.

FYI lang.  You might wish to check them out.    :)

hans, galing ng bago mong toy ha congrats!!  ngayon lang ako nakapanood ng LOTR na ang gamit ay tube amp... at di papatalo sa power amp kong THX!!  medyo kinabahan lang ako dahil mas malakas pa kayo manood sa tube kaysa nakasanayan ko sa ss amp... whew! buti di ako pinahiya ng tweeter ko hehehehe... in keeping with my balimbing image, as of last weekend i am officially a tube fan hehe... maganda na sa vocals dynamic pa sa rock.

as usual inabot kami ng dilim, at lumipat sa tenants / association ang kaba ko... di kaya may maghahain ng complaint at humihingi ng signatures sa upper and lower floors to "oust the noisy neighbor"... aakyat na lang ako sa bundok.

So this was the agenda last Saturday? New toy of Hans!
Sayang I missed it, I have to bring my daughter kasi sa doktor. Schedule another so we can at least have a listen to it.

It must be very very good, otherwise the Hafler and Tono wont be in the buy n' sell.

Hans, congrats!

hi, sorry to butt in, the tube amp has two gain controls for the left and right channel which can act like volume controls if you connect the source directly to the amp  :)

thanks.  it is an integrated amp then, thus no preamp is necessary.
