[Thirdear]

Hi guys,

I own a great McIntosh MC275, and i would love to add it a lamp preamp. I wonder if anyone there has already tried the Foreplay III with my kind of lamp amplifier ?

TY all !

Have to say, I thought was a high quality lava lamp.  He he   You have to forgive me, very often, I misread signs, sentences, etc. more than most people. It makes me smile.

We call it a "tube" or "vacuum tube"; in England and Australia it's a "valve", other places it's a "lamp" - or whatever translates as "lamp" locally.

Your kind of lamp amp is a much more expensive type of amp like the ST-70.  Well, in that it is push pull multi stage.  Neither DHT or SET. 

So the answer is yes, many Bottleheads need more than flea power and use a broad selection of tubed amplifiers with Foreplay preamps.
