Best Ever TT HF amp
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Great value in a used HF amplifier. Quietest, least vibration, smoothest tune up, big bright meters, least TVI, solid construction, ample power to reach the antenna with long feed line runs. Service & support still available from TT.
I have owned the Titan II, Titan 425, Centruion, Centaur, Kenwood TL-922A, Henry 2k, 3KA and 3KD. The TT Titan III model 417 is far superior. It will be a classic and the tubes are readily available on Ebay.

The Best of them All

After the proverbial "been around the block" scenario, I settled on the Titan III. Couldn't be happier. Need I say more?
Try one, you will never look back.

Traded my Centurion (3-500Z)amp for this Titan III. It is large, and mechanically very strong. The blower noise is louder than the Centurion, but by no means objectionable. Superior metering, and easy to tune. Clearly the last amp I will ever have to purchase.

Work Horse!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Update from 2004.
Just a real work horse. Handles 48 hour contest smoothly. Lot of hours on this amp and zero problems at this time. Silky smooth QSK with my IC-781 and Omni 6 Plus.
Another Ten Tec winner!

superb
|

The only reason for this post is as follows. I have been looking at reviews on other high end amplifiers. I have had my Titan III amplifier for about 3 years with zero problems. Having spoke to individuals with other brands which I will not mention, they have had their brand x and y amplifiers back for warranty repair several times. This leads me to believe that the ratings on eham for these other brands are not accurate. The only failure I am aware of on the Titan III was one bad tube by one owner of the Titan III. Which was promptly taken care of by Tentec and not due do design problems as in other brands of high end amplifiers. This leads me to believe owners of other brands are reluctant to complain even when their amplifier has been back for repair several times. Its sort of like when the 7800 came out and had some problems in the front end. The guys continued to rate it a 5. Maybe candor is old fashioned anymore.
Personally I still love the amp and feel it is a reliable best buy.

BULLET-PROOF !!!
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
This is a BIG AMP!!!!..The box is HUGE, I've found the controls smooth as silk,EASILY repeatable,and the fit and finish first rate!!! The blower is louder than my old AL-80B,but thats to be expected.I do NOT find the blower noise objectionable...it has become nothing more than "white noise" to me.
I've made the usual mistakes with this amp,wrong band position,etc. and have NEVER had a problem...it simply trips,or,(in the case of wrong band position) does nothing!..the band switch is SUPER STOUT..overall,a SOLID,WELL-BUILT AMP. I would buy another without a second-thought...'73 Tom K3RX

Quality and Value

This is a large, but very high quality amplifier. It works very well with my Orion, and the QSK is superb. The two pieces of gear are by far the best I've ever owned and operated in 32 years of "hamming".
