Dunno! always the same mistake I guess: I  began with a single EL34 and I am
spending hours trying to make the McIntosh work.

<DROOOL!!!>

In this case I'd probably say "legendary" instead of "mythical"...  I could
never afford one, but I've managed to squeeze an extra 35 years out of an
ancient Harmon-Kardon that someone thought was dead back in 1969.

Now all you need is to make it scratch-n-sniff ;-)

RG  -  solid state will never smell like warm tubes

Well I have to admit I never saw one of these tubes, I have only some pics
of the 275 but I'll take attention to your advice for future renders thanks

Well this means 2 arealights by valve that is 22 arealights... maybe for
2008 ;-)

you're right, I focused on the gear more than the furniture, I promise I'll
improve it
