Jadis Defy 7 MkIV w/ KT 90's tweeks

Just wondered if anyone out there has any suggestions on what can really bring this Amp to life, ie; tubes, powercords, cables. Right now I'm using a Spectral preamp, Quad and Nestorovic speakers, Fadel Art spkr cable and Transparent interconnect. Don't get me wrong it sound very good but how could I get a little more transparency etc.

Detlof, The split down the middle/for me/ meant I have heard both good and not too good ,on the kt90 in the mk4.Yes, I have taken some license on the 50/50 of it.(Just that I have heard pro and con.)I guess sometimes it's hard to pick a camp. I went against a factory recomendation;paid big bucks for kt88s on my Music Ref 9mk2;and wished I hadn't.( almost 800 /with driver tubes and shipping for the JJ 88s.) While I know I'm far from the last word in tubes;(read VERY far)I'm just relating some experiences I've had.

Holy mackerel,I got socks older than this thread. But I also got a Deffy 7 mk4. I got a cat3. I have heard a split down the middle on the kt90s, and this amp. I took my dealer's advice and went with the RM Labs 6550s I use Sy.Rea. ics and speaker wire. Active shielding box.A Top Gunn pc for the amp; a K.cobra. I also have what made "it" for me: the Custom Power Block. The 4 input front end only, device. This amp has large cjones ( sorry, wasn't a Spanish major)Everything listed,I added, one at a time/over a period of time. All made my 10Ts more alive/and More Alive.
