tube stand-ins for hot weather

[tonyg88]

I use small fans to cool my tube amps. The tiny MW does not make as much heat as the big bottle 2a3 or the EL84. If I want zero heat there's always the Volt+D ( TPA3118 ).

I ended up switching to my EL84 (well 7189a) amp as well yesterday. Glad I did as I haven't used it in awhile

What amp is that? Beefy output transformers!

Yes definitely compared to my magnavox el84 amp those are big output transformers for el84. It is Stromberg Carlson amp Unfort the preamp I had was beyond repair but it sounds good and provides surprisingly plenty of bass .
