Get some good Cardas Copper cable Gold reference its older stuff but it will warm your system. The tubes are good but can be different not 'better' different. Try to get some Mullard E88CC the oldest versions you can get. DO NOT get CV2493 I love them but they are sparklers. Get rid of the Aragon, yes I know it's only on the bass or woofers but its dangerous to have around. I would suggest getting Quad amps tube amps of course or Leak amps. Finally get rid of the little Quads and trade up tp the big electrostats what number 898 or something like that. Also try vinyl. Best of Luck
