My 1st purchase from Massdrop arrived 6/29. Promised ship by 7/10. Well done Massdrop. Original box inside a larger box with plenty of protection. Got the orange because I didn't like the other colors. At night it looks closer to gold than orange. For the record, the "bugle boy" is cool. I also have some tubes with the Amperex "Bugle Boy". Loaded it with GE JAN5654W tubes that have a few hundred hours on them, so can't compare to the 6j1's provided. Doubt they ever see any use.
Doesn't have the bass of my vintage PP amp but it wasn't $100. As you can see, I have it off the ground to provide a chimney effect for cooling the unit. Heat is a killer for tube amps and I do this for all my tube units. No legs, so you will want to provide some measure of protection for where this is sitting. I had plenty of power cords from discarded monitors etc so not providing one with the unit is no issue. Really enjoying this little 4 tube unit especially since I'm running AC during this hot stretch of summer.
