Hi Everybody,
My name is Radu and I was born in Transylvania. However, I am not related to that vampire...
I started playing with vacuum tubes at ten. I mainly built radios and repaired TVs in the 70s.
After a long 35 years break, few years ago I found the time to play with tubes again. This time audio is my obsession. Mostly because I love great sound and music. After so many experiments and trials I definitely can say that I love the sound of DHTs. My first built amp is a PP and I like it because it is the first. However, I change greatly enjoy my second amp which is SE. A friend of mine love it so much that he insisted and bought it. Now I am building an improved version of it. It is an all DHP ( triode strapped) two stage amplifier with no caps (naturaly except the PSU's last ones ) in the signal path. Hope to finish it by the end of April and break it in during May, June, July. I am very excited to bring it this Summer to the Capital Audio Fest for the Amp Shootout. Because it is the first time I am participating to such an event, I am happy to take any advise.
My amps can be seen at

Cheers to all,
