Pretty sure the butlers are still hybrid and not all-tube. No clue on the milberts though.

Why are you wanting an all-tube setup?

Milbert's 100% tubed.

Tru also has a 12AT7/EL84 design...

One of the ones i've read about for years. reputable company excellent sound, but not "all-tube" sounds just as good to me tho

I'd forgotten all about Tru.

That's butler, and they're still not all tube.

Tubes in car audio... lol.

I'd expect them to either not last long due to vibration, or to need constant recalibration. Specifically in class A amps.

I beg forgiveness if these are not all tube amps:

thanks very much for the information on all the amps, i was just wondering if they had them because ive noticed the difference in home audio and from all the guitar playing and whatnot that i do, so i was wondering if people made them since i never really hear of them for car audio, i was even trieng to think if i should try to make my own

You would need a lot of knowledge for a DIY home amp project --> car...

Your LIMFAC on making a car amp is going to be the power supply.

Hmmm.....if times get rough enough to where there is rolling blackouts for extended periods, this could be the perfect home audio amp......

Planet Audio (ZED) had a few tube models. They are fetching good money on ebay.

I hate to revive an old thread but i was gone for a few days.

I had one of these amps. About 75watts or so. Really nice. But it was a power hog. I still regret selling that thing
