    I own a couple of Dennis Had amps. The "Fire Bottle 2A3" SE and the EL84 SE. I was impressed with his choice of internal components (Jantzen Z-Caps, etc.) and the quality workmanship. I love the sound of both with efficient speakers, but I do prefer the 2A3 sound a little more.

    Little something I threw together

    Nice system. I've owned the Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid preamp...excellent choice. I can tell you from my own experience, putting a couple of Mundorf Silver Gold caps in the Transcendent will take it to another level.
