"One of the forum members from the forum's infancy days had a pair of Welborne labs 2A3 Moondogs with the MagneQuest output transformers and it seemed that in his view, the MagneQuest output transformers were a substantial, and very critical component to the overall sound. Also, I tend to agree about the significance of output transformers as I have used a few different types of the MagneQuest transformers for single-ended amplifier designs as upgrades myself and each time the improvements were fairly significant."

"The amps are like a religious experience man. Clear, clean, and flowing music. From top to bottom, sound is more even handed, more dimensional, and just plain sounds good. The stock transformers were somewhat rougher sounding and a bit tipped up or hot in the presence regions. I didn't really notice that until I heard these! Such important musical improvements these make. I am hearing the most realistic displays of depth I have ever heard out of 2 speakers. Absolutely fantastic. You done good, no doubt about it. Tell Mr. MagneQuest his transformers are f*in musical instruments."

These amps have more staying power in my system than anything else. The Magnequest upgrade takes these to a place where only the best amplifiers dwell. No joke.

Whoever got these is DONE buying amps... I have the same setup myself, with the Magnequest Iron, and they are unbelievable.

The NOS Valves gear is no joke. I have heard many amps and preamps, and these leave nothing to want really. They are that damn good. to experience them personally is really something. I had a friend hear my system recently, someone that sets up turntables all over the world in world class systems, and he told me that my system is the most emotional sounding system he has ever experienced. I completely agree.
