Just a little post to open up dialog regarding the overall quality of the many 1KW-2KW 3-500Z amps available on the used market.
Starting with the Kenwood TL-922A, What's your opinion?
- I've heard / read it said many times that it's basically the Heathkit SB-220 design, but what isn't the same as most others which use the same tube compliment? There's only so much that can differ in a two-triode amp, and after all it's the tube which does the work.
I really like mine, but I want to know if anyone had one and then swapped it out for a different amp. If so, what do you like better about your new amp?
If you now have a 922 how much power are you getting, AM or SSB, and at what drive power and what kind of meter are you using?
Eimacs?
