So, I’m back to square one. Will keep an eye out eBay (Dennis did reply to me twice when I asked him questions on that specific amp). Hopefully, one will come up soon and or I will ask Dennis if it’s possible to commission one.
Btw, I’m also in line for Decware’s 6 watt SET amp. Curious if any members have used Decware amps and how they compare to Inspire. Both brands seem to have excellent reputation and I feel Decware maybe has a bit bigger following (and a longer line) because of the couple of high profile YouTuber reviews in the past two years.

I don't have any experience with Decware though I've looked at them over the years. What is the waiting list like these days? One difference I can point out is that Dennis encourages tube rolling. Not only of different brands of the same tube but of completely different kinds of tubes altogether. It's a very different approach than most amplifier designers use. I have gone a bit nuts trying all sorts of different tubes and have really enjoyed the flexibility.
