Vacuum Tube Preamplifier &
Amplifier Lust Pages
Incredibly gorgeous Italian units
were seen everywhere at the Milan Top Audio & Video show. Seen here is the
Master Sound 300B S.E. integrated amplifier. Using two 300B tubes per channel, this
stereo unit produces a claimed 20wpc with .05% distortion. Four inputs plus a tape
loop is offered, all speaker and RCA terminals are gold plated, while the rounded wood
side panels give this unit a great look.

Because it has been a while since my last
Tube Lust Page update, i felt that it would be good to have a huge amount of new
tubes to enjoy! During my trip to the UK, the pleasure of looking into just a few
tubes of Audio Note UK's head stash happened! Please click on any of the
below images to see a larger image. Lust away my friends!

This photo (and the other Papworth
amplifier seen below) was sent to me by web-slinger Mats. Great scans dude!!!
This utterly beautiful hand polished stainless steel yummy uses four EL34 tubes per monoblock for an output of
100 watts. It offers very low distortion and the other supporting tubes are two
ECC83 and one 5814 tubes. Frequency response is claimed as 20Hz - 30kHz (+/- 0.2
dB).

Using basically twice the output
devices (eight EL34 tubes) then the Papworth M100 seen above, the Papworth M200 can
produce 200 watts per monoblock. It also uses the same two ECC83 and one 5814 tubes
per monoblock. What is a bit different is that the claimed frequency response has
just a tiny bit more deep bass (10Hz - 30kHz). Also amazing is that it weighs in at
31kgs!
