Re: Which is the best 4-1000 2 holer or the GU84B amp
The chinese 8877 at 400 Euros seems to be a good choice,
a company nearby uses about 50 of those for two years without any trouble

After having conversed with Jim over the last few days via email, I'm inclined to believe the new "tube of choice" is going to be the YC-243... It seems like the way to go.
Not to mention, the 11

The 8877 is a waste of money, for the dollars they choose to demand for it.
For the price of a new 8877 you can purchase an 8170 and socket on the used / pull market.
For about the same amount

What bites is when the manufacturer purposely keeps it out of stock to make it look like it is a good thing and drive the price up.

The trend is for cheap reliable power. A couple 8877's will make moderate power at medium risk. A couple 3CX1200A7's will make almost as much power with low risk. Their limit to maximum power is its

I agree. Here's the breakdown:
The 8877 tube is hellishly expensive and

Seems to be alot of hams going to the GU84B tubes for their Big
