This is something that has been driving me nuts occasionally I guess but was in a local GC possibly 15 years ago and I was with a buddy so I wasn't driving and capable of hanging out but while he did whatever he was doing I was perusing the used gear and a little amp caught my eye it was sort of in the mold of older HiFi gear with a folded cage on top to protect the tubes it was about the size a little larger I guess then small Knight amplifier, finished in solid black. The only Name that sort of sticks in my mind is possibly THD, but I'm not really sure that it was made by them.
The main thing that sticks out in my head is that the amplifier was seemingly capable of infinite sustain at almost imperceptible levels of volume. I wasn't able to crank it of course but I noticed that by manipulation of the controls I had almost no volume coming out but I could hear my cord ringing forever. I'm sure it was produced by a company and not someone's DIY, and possibly a single ended that switched between power tubes but that might just be imagination on my part, something sticks out in my head saying there might have been different types of power tubes but not two of any kind, except preamp tubes.
If anybody knows of such a thing maybe they can chime in. Man I guess I'm starting to come to grips with my problem when The One That Got Away it's not a girl or a job...
