Additional info:
Guys, This is a very neat amplifier. I had only heard about Butler Audio (Phaze) and had never owned one I so I sat out to find me a unit to try. I did find this unit on Ebay which I purchased and tryed and was not over impressed while it did have a nice sound. I had never owned a tube amp before so I had NO idea what they were like/about. I had sent a message to victor asking questions about the tube portion and we also exchanged pics etc. He recommended that I purchase a High End set of NOS RCA/(Tung Sol) 5881 tubes for this unit. One issue is the tubes on these units are soldered in and have no Socket. I did purchase the tube set ($100 for the 2 shipped) and began fiddling. I removed the old tubes and for curiousity I played the unit with no tubes. WOW, something was wrong it sounded exactly the same!!!

I stopped right there, ran to my computer and emailed Victor. To my amazement he notified me that Butler had installed a 'Bypass circuit' that allowed these Butler/Phase amplifiers to continue playing once, if, at the time that these Russian made original tubes no longer work. SO, guess what? The tubes had never worked the entire time I had owned the amplifier and I had only heard the solid state portion of the amplifier working. Once the RCA tubes were here I installed them and powered unit it. I did note that the lower portion of the new tubes had a nice glow.

WOW, the difference with the Tube preamp section working is significant. This amplifier is now One of a Kind. It has some of the nicest Preamp tubes offered and working/installed. WAY better than a factory unit. If you are something who enjoys the tube sound in car audio this is your chance. Not sure if you can run a tube preamp in front of those or not guess thats a Victor question.

Thanks to Victor for the knowledge!
