MKIII (Final Version)
Customer chosen his favourite BMW Sunset Orange Metallic Paint Job
Our customer have a pair of NOS TANGO 40W 5K 8 Ohm Output Transformers - Its one of the best ever made with brilliant measurement and specs!
Just like the MK1 2A3GT-FFX, it was PERFECT.

And the 2A3GT is back too! Due to higher demand than ever (for those who want the best sound of triode, but not sure about the lower SET power rating and expensive cost). Here is the new 2A3GT-C (base on our MK2 2A3 PP Triode Design found on the 2A3GT-FFX), which pays tribute to the original MK1 2A3GT-Classic Compact (Smaller size and bill). Class A Operation (And most of the time plays in Class A for the first 8-10 Watts*). And when more power required, it shifts to Class AB to reach 14-15 watts *. Like our other amps, it always drive like a higher power amplifier.
So this has come to our last / finale MK3 versions, with the preamp section only using the CV181 (6SN7) , the most satisfied / loved preamp tube. And compared to the first two version (same best fyi), now we could simplified the circuit to maximum (in the past we have to leave extra space and circuits for using different brand of parts and transformers due to lots of choices compared to today), but since as of today we are narrowed down to very specific brands we will work with and limited tube amplifier related parts and transformers on the market. This is predicted to be the finale version of the 2A3GT design. It was the best , and it is going to be a future classic!
Triode x Push Pull = 2A3GT
*Depending on brand / model / impedance / quality / material of output transformers, they all put out slight difference numbers for different purposes.

Starting 2022, we will standardize in using a high end HASHIMOTO (Sansui) Choke Transformer, which is custom make for us on this push pull design.
We thank you Hashimoto and Isao-san for the help with the production of this customized choke!

Starting end of 2022, we will start share the chassis with the 211M. So bigger transformers we could use.

2A3GT-C HMS
The HMS version is same as the GTC, but with complete set of Hammonds (Canada) Classic Tube Transformers. It might be better for matching some speakers, such vintage and horn speakers, with less info/details and absolute performance (when these speakers can’t play the notes, then it will become stuffy / hard / flat) and higher musicality kind of sound. The HMS 2A3GTC offers a more tube sound from the golden time of stereo.
