George,

Thanks much for registering here, sorry I missed you at the Pasadena show last week. I like the sound of the Aries 845-G SET monoblocks and the Mercury 2 preamp; real focused and authoritative yet with that recognizable cohesive "single ended triode" sound. They are burning in nicely and the amps have no problem driving my big ESP's.

Welcome to the Forums; post often and long!

"Ode to a Triode" by Kara Chaffee:

There once was an odd thing called Mu,

Too much and it bites like a shrew.

When the Mu is too little,

The music just piddles.

What's a designer to do?
