THE WHOLEY HOUSES OF TUBES
As long as you remember that tube audio's vitality can be explained by the fact that it an art form that is satisfying our spiritual needs then you will get great benefit in listening CAREFULLY to the sermons of our Wholiest Preachers.
Their job is to preach their unique view of TRUTH. Remember there are as many different truths in the audio arts as there are Playboy bunnies,
THE WHOLEY HOUSE OF KIMMEL
Start at this link and work around Allen's web site. Listen carefully to his sermons on cathode followers. You will quickly get that there is controversy around his unique point of view and that is a good thing.

Notice that Allen has a replacement board for the Dynaco 70.
THE WHOLEY HOUSE OF ATWOOD

Start here and discover how John modified the Futterman OTL circuit so that it would be more powerful which was not a good idea.
Much of John's exotic design work can be seen in Vacuum Tube Valley Magazine but on the other hand his Randall amp is a very cool project for the tube newbie.
