One of the chores of the review process is the physical labor of moving the equipment, setting up and tearing down. Grabbing the EA-2101 by its cute little handles and hoisting it about didn't prove much of a problem. Weighing 40 lbs, it's not heavy for a tube amp. Even my Air Tight ATM-2, nominally a 50Wpc stereo amp, weighs more. Generally, you can gauge the quality of a tube amp fairly well by its weight:power ratio—the higher, the better. All else being equal, the more massive the power transformer is, the better the power-supply regulation. Similarly, the core size and weight of the output transformer equate with deeper and cleaner bass response. So on the basis of the heft test, the Berning did not look promising. I wondered out loud how on earth Dave had managed to pack two 100W channels of transformer-coupled muscle into such a lightweight package. The answer's a bit long, but the key involves the output stage used Chiudi
