Re: [TenTec] Orion on the Way

Hi,

It was said

There are some amps that do not match to 50 ohms,  especially the older ones 
as the exciters of that era had tube finals with matching networks.  They 
often would 'leave out' the matching circuit and and drive the Amp tubes 
directly,  letting the exciter matching network handle the impedence 
difference.

Just a FYI in case you are one of those old amp collectors.

Rig here is TT Orion w/ tuner and Swan MK 1  and it definately needs the 
tuner in between.

Perhaps some day I'll step up for a new amp but this one just keeps on 
workin...  May be Scott will have a great deal on a new CENTURION for me one 
day.  ;)
