It is bad enough that decent HF tube amplifiers are so expensive... but, the available solid state models are, quite frankly, a joke when it comes to price. Four, Five.. Six thousand dollars or more.. for an amplifier ?? The trouble is, I'm not laughing. At those prices, I'll stick with tube amps... until they are just no longer available... My guess is that solid state amps will, eventually, become a bit more reasonable in terms of price. Actually, 5 grand would be better spent on improvements to an antenna system.
