Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?

No, simply counter punches to your insistance on addressing the semantics of "best" - a point you have made in more than one thread - we all get it; there is no "best" in audio (except my VSMs of course).

Rob, Bobby has always liked the Merlin, and I do think there is magic in the EL84 tubes and amps that use them.

Erikminer, I did consider the ayon spirit and I have a feeling that it would make a terrific match with the merlins. I also considered manley. I ended up getting a great deal on an f1 and took it. So far, I`m very happy that I did.

Tpreaves, in your opinion, which is the best of the three?

You still have the Merlins? How do you like them?
