Open it up or ask on rec.audio.pro...

Is the less than $1000.00 rule a solid and reliable guideline in all cases, some cases or, does it depend on manufacturer.
I was using that price point as an example, the more important point is that you find the specifics for a piece of gear and cut thru the marketing bullshit....
That being said, 2 more points....
1) HHB does make good gear, and actually, I don't beleive it is faux tube, but do a search on RAP - I've seen it commented on many times. As a matter of fact, this whole "faux tube" thing has been commented on many times there too, so people don't have to take only my word for it!
2) This point important (especially for chess - who seems to have his trousers in a bunch over my comments!)
I'm not suggesting in ANY way that you can't make good use out of Faux Tube - if it gives you the sound you want, then go for it.... all I'm saying is that if you want a true piece of tube gear, then be aware that putting the word TUBE on the front fascia is a marketing spec, not a design spec!
