Help with my Oritek Stereo 70


I suspect I have one of the great amps here, and I want to get the best out of it. It is a modified Dynaco Stereo 70. Ori disabled the ultralinear feature, and it is a single-ended triode of 18 watts per side-with no feedback. Current areas of interest include speakers, speaker wire, isolation, tube anchors, and, in the future, maybe tubes. I have little experience with tubes, even though I've used them in the past. My current system is Linn lp12, Ekos 1, nude Arkiv, Mana Reference table, Mapleshade-isolated Lingo 1, Linto phono amp, Oritek pre/dac, and Valab solid-silver interconnects between preamp and amp. Unused, so far, are Sota Time Domain 4's(they look like Watt/Puppies, and are on 4-inch Mapleshade amp stands.)and, hopefully Signal Cable Silver Resolution speaker cables. I have a very good, but not used right now, cd setup. If speaker cables are suggested, I am interested in cheap ones.

Thanks Jp1208. I looked further into the Morrow, and I will be looking into their speaker wire at a future date. I orginally used Ori's Stereo 70 with his modified Genesis 2+(I think)speakers. I then tried his modified TAD 803(?)speakers. No go! I realized I have a synergistic combo here, and it's not easy to beat it(Ori has heard it, also.). So I have to be very careful. I slightly improved the bass, and I'm looking into speaker stands. I haven't tried my Signal Cable Silver Resolution speaker cable(my daughter has it.)yet. Currently, I use Dayton 14 gauge from Parts Express as speaker wire. I value your recommendations, as the Lessloss power cords transformed my system, and the Valab solid-silver interconnect was an eye opener. Every lp now sounds totally unique, and I'm having fun discovering old(pre 1982)overlooked lp's.
