Check out the "Tube Asylum" at http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tubes/bbs.html Its a lot of wading and slogging, but useful info does surface. The search system works. I agree with the guys above, Conrad Johnson (which I own, VTL, Audio Research all make good stuff and offer long years of support. I am listening to a friends Rogue amplifiers and find them enjoyable too. Used offers the best deals, but make sure no one's monkeyed with the innards. Also some tubes are expensive, 300B's for example. Check out the Tube Store at www.thetubestore.com for availability and pricing. Do be forwarned, tube changing and comparing (a.k.a. tube rolling) does add another means to tweak systems, or fiddle endlessly. The sound is worth it.
