Modwright LS100 VS Modwright LS36.5

That's right, it's very difficult to tube roll the 36.5. There are only three choices for the 6H30. Two new production manufacturers which are sonically nearly indistinguishable, and the very expensive DR version which is NOS. The DR version is more of a good thing, but in terms of character, pretty much the same.

Clarrie, if you get the LS100 just make sure that you give it the 4-500 hours of break-in that Dan recommends to really hear what it sounds like

Wow .. 4-500 hours that's a long time... is there a shorter way to do it...

Send it to me first. I'll do it for you. I always enjoy something new to experience. I'll send it back when you want. LOL.

Clarrie - none that I know of , you need to run music through it not just leaving it turned on - if you have a CD player with repeat or can stream music another way you can get there reasonably quickly
