From the moment you gave a sneak peek of this amp, I knew it was a keeper. Although I don’t own a 300B tube amp, from everyone who has reviewed or owned one, always speak of this magical sound the 300B’s produce.
Great review, I am a big fan of Dennis. I currently use his SET45 amp and LP-27a preamp. This combo has proved to be quite the perfect match with my higher efficiency drivers. My Klipsch Chorus II’s are awesome with them.
Poor Dennis Had, 8,826 viewers trying to get an amp from one retired man! Well not all will want one, but given the way this vid was put together, many will...
Tekton has a particular speaker design that is for tiny wattage tube amps and those speakers have dual 15" bass drivers I believe and Jeff's mid and treble custom array with those little tweeters. Its worth a look for the reviews of those very special speakers from Tekton. I will be purchasing Jeff's Troubadour's for my next set if speakers and would highly recommend you review the Troubadour with your excellent review style....
If I listen to my 300B amp 2 or 3 times a day for 45 minutes each time, do you suggest that I leave the amp on during the day or turn it on on and off as needed?
I truly admire Maestro Dennis Had. In fact not many of such wonderful engineers are left. This beautiful amplifier has only one input and I think it’ll be more interesting to have more. I’m an integrated amplifier admirer and my goal is to own 12 of my favorites vintage and current models from the prominent brands I adore and listen to each of them for each month of the year. How’s that sound? Oh ; and this one is the number 13😂
Just bought this amp Dennis is building some for November paring with klipsch forte Iv can’t bring myself to buy a fleet wood speaker try Hans zimmer his work will blow you away
Lots of 300B amps in this space this looks like a special option. Not sure I get a lifetime amp vs. the other options in this space (Cayin, Manley, modwright, feliks, ultrasonic, moth, elekit, glenn, ampsandsound, eddie current) all have solid options.
Wonderfull review from a wonderful amp. Two years ago I was planning to order a hand build tube amp from Siegmund(Guitars)m By sending an email I found out he sadly passed away just a few months before.
I use approximately the same wattage on my original KLH 5's. Not a match made in Heaven, but it will work in a small room. I use a sub. Others will say absolutely not.

She's beauty! Compare it to Deware Sarah 300B...GO!

That's fantastic!
I was just mildly watching until I saw that price. WOW! I will be keeping my eye out for one to use with my LaScalas
Beautiful, beautiful amp!

very cool there are "artisan" electronics made here in the USA.Much like the pioneer hi fi days of the early 1950s. EG Williamson et al.

It seems Dennis has one of these on Ebay now, though looks as if it ships 1st week of December.
How do I order an amp? How do I contact Dennis?
Just got through listening to my Cary v12i. 😀

Based on what was written by Dennis, It was completed on my 79th birthday.

You forgot the 300b monoblocks with the 8inch tall Kron tubes!
I was using his 300B cary audio 2A3mononblock from 2007 to 2017
I think Dennis had have retired in 2014 from cary audio as vice president
yes he did, and he started making these in his spare time to sell on eBay. : )
Hi. Great review. Where can get more info and buy an Inspire 300B amp to be shipped to Thailand? Thanks in advance. Cheers
I thought the Western Electric guys use the same old tooling to make these tubes. Shouldn’t they be built exactly as they did back in the day?
Who needs a fireplace when....
would of been nice if it had a watts meter

Do you think this would work well with KLH 5? It is at 90 db.
I use approximately the same wattage on my original KLH 5's. Not a match made in Heaven, but it will work in a small room. I use a sub.
Others will say absolutely not.
& the cost???
What is the music at the start?
"When We Were Friends" - Amaranth Cove
Flesh and Blood. A nod to Herb Reichert?
It’s loud at 11 AM you say. What about 11 PM?
Fire Bottle!!!!! ❤
So how much is it?? Ok there’s the price… incl tubes it’s an amazing price.
How much is it

No way, I'm sticking with my Orchard Dual-Mono amp.
I rather get the Luxman.
Tube amps are just plain bad for pure natural high quality sound.
