Cornford amps are quite spectacular, and rather than go on and on which is usually my habit, I will try to leave it that that. Regards, Myles S.

Skip_dup1 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 well I just heard back from the distributor, and they are anticipating a dealership situation in the N.Y. area in the near future. This is the first time I`ve gotten anything to go on-many thanks. The only alternative I had in mind was something from the Bruno folks. BTW, I`m interested in the 20W (Hurricaine) too. I was quoted a price from England of 1200 pounds ($1,600 and some change), but I have no idea what`s up in the U.S. yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over in the U.K. in the Docklands outside of London and played with a MK50 for about three days. Its a wonderful amp! I ended up setting it up with 6L6's instead of the 5881's that were in there. I want to also try some older NOS Tung-Sol 5881's before I make up my mind. Maybe next trip. Regards, Myles Myles S.

Regards, Myles[/QB]That's what I did. I put Harma 6L6s in but also put some RFT ECC83s in 'cos I found it a little harsh with the sovteks. That really warmed it up a treat Now I'm running it flat out into a hotplate and then into my Trace Bonneville + 4x12 and I can honestly say it's the best sounding and "feeling" setup I've ever played Glad they are available over there now.

Tedster Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Spam: "My AMAZING new WONDER DRUG will add 3 inches to your penis, take 4 inches from your waist and add it to your biceps, and earn you an extra $10,000 A WEEK" Not spam: "Cornford amps are now available in the U.S." Unless, of course, you're the sole distributor for the amps.

Skip_dup1 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 well my friend just called me from England yesterday. He found a shop in Brighton that can order one in about a week-got the address, phone # and all if yer interested. But now I think I`m getting the names mixed up-which one is the hurricaine and which is the harlequin? the 6 watter is 599 pounds and the 20 watter is 1199 pounds. That may include U.K. delivery.

I had to turn the treble and presence down to zero before I swapped the valves and it was still too trebley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
