wow they have hybrid tube/ transistor and all tube amps... (I think I met the guy who did the design at CES a year or two ago). I dont have a comment on the TRU vs Abyss build but this is pretty well made... though the duplicate chassis makes you shake your head.

I really like what they have done with wood in some of their designs

The all tube amp looks to be a push pull and specs out with 75w/2 channel at 4 or 8 ohms.

Not a huge fan of the board layout, I also wonder why they decided to do single sided only (looks like they have just printed the traces on top for aesthetics. I do like the large amount of capacitance in the board though. Now lets see the full tube!

The last pic looks like US Amps guts from 10 years ago.

I've been under a rock for the last 3 years; what happened with TRU? Why did these guys take their designs?

They couldn't have picked a better spot for the fan on the first one?

not too sure about these.. the ones footprint is quite massive no matter what it does power wise. there are many amps putting out jaw wrenching power and quality such as the thesis amps but their footprint is quite nice size and feasable..

more show than go in my opinion

being unfamiliar with tubes in mobile applications, are there any consequences from being exposed to continuous vibration?
