Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?

Guys ; My long search for a amp has come to a end I now own a NAT SE2SE mono block SET amp with a pair of 211 tubes in a push pull circuit. The amps put out 70 watts a channel quite a change from the UltraFi 's with 18 watts per channel .My speakers now have the power they have needed for so long.The UltraFi's were a wonderful amp but just did not have the power my speakers needed I still have the SET magic, beautiful sound staging , transparency and a bottom end that kicks ass .Anybody have a quad of GE 211 tubes I could try for a short term loan ? Now I can start dreaming about a preamp next year maybe at the top of the list is the coincident statement line stage anybody have a used one for a cheep price LOL . I can dream can't I

congrats Mark. I am sure you will enjoy those for a long time to come.

Did anyone make it to RAF? If so what was the best and, worst set ups that you heard?

I went.

Some of the good was from Merlin. Their set-up was well balanced, some of the best bass notes at the show. He was using some sort of little stereo tube amp. I suspect it had something to do with their sound as well. I discovered GR Research... their room with Dodd electronics was tremendous. They were using their Super-V, open-baffle speakers including servo-driven subs. They were spacious, huge full range sound with no bloom or fatigue. And being a panel guy, Roger Sander's electrostats and electronics were pretty damn good. It looks like he nose what he's doing!

There were some unmentionables. Mostly room acoustics I suspect. Considering the coin some of the top shelf gear was asking, it better have been the room!!
