- I'd echo this sentiment. You've got a good, tried and tested amp with robust tubes. Why spend the time and money (and run barefoot whilst you're working on it) simply for a lower drive requirement?

- Not only is the 3-500Z a more robust tube than the 8877, the 8877 requires a 3 minute warm-up, the circuit for that would be an added complexity. I agree with Hsu that the 3CX1200D7 would be a better
