I am not willing to go the Elrog route based on cost at this point. I am sure they are great but $2k is more than I want to spend. I would say my budget is up to $1k but would prefer to spend less. Thanks Verdantaudio for your response.
845 Tube Refresh
Most of the info I find on new production 845 tube recommendations is a bit stale. Some of the variants recommended are no longer readily available. I just bought an 845 tube amp with basic Shuguangs and I am wanting to try something else without spending the price of the amp all over again. NOS 845s are too expensive for me to consider. What say you 845 fans?
