Orange AD200 MKIII

Post by 9range9 » Wed Nov 21, 2018 11:45 am

Hi,
I am new in this Forum but I am using Orange since many years.

I have some Questions:
Is the new Orange AD200 MKIII built in England? I do not mean assembled! I mean "built" in England?

Unfortunately the four 6550 Valves are located directly to the PC-Board. Is`nt it better to give them separat sockets like it is in the first AD200B or in my Old Organe or in my Matamp? Is`nt more solid?

Welcome!

The amp is built in England.

As far as tube sockets on PC boards, separate is preferable, but this way works, too.

Hi
Thanks for your answers.

I am quite often in England. I will ring the Orange-Factory in 108 Ripon Way, Borehamwood to ask for a Factory Tour.
In the past I visited so many Amp-factorys (Marshall in Bletchley, England, Mesa/Boogie in Petaluma, USA, many years ago the old Trace Elliot factory in Maldon, England and Matamp in Huddersfield, England) and I am very interest in visiting Orange.

@ bclaire:
I agree with your. Yes, the Tube sockets on PC boards are working well. ... It is also possible to fly by a Cessna Plane, but it's much better to fly by a Learjet (if you know, what I mean?).
Tube sockets on PC boards are much cheaper than the other way. Thats the point.

Cheers
