    • Posted to an Australian car audio forum on 14 Aug 2005 by "golf_bht": "You might want to look at milbert 235 as well. I use it on bumpy road in Bangkok for 17 years and it is still in working condition. Along the line I have gone through 1 set of tubes due to normal mantainance... I personally never heard anything better than milbert... so for the $$$ milbert have the longest service life and the best sounding amp I ever own. Their might be something better on the market but I just haven't discover it yet."
