Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
What amplifiers are you driving your Omens and Lores with? I'm using a B&K st140 with my new Omen Defs and love the sound. 
Good 61NP replacement tube for NovaPre?
Looks like the 6N1P's are all made by same manufacturer (as said by HiFigeek). So an advertised upgraded tube is probably no more than a re-label. Thanks for info.

Bill Ayers talks about Tekton. Now we are even...let's get back to audio 
Good 61NP replacement tube for NovaPre?
I don't think it's too bright...I'm always up for warming things up. If the tube change will not make a difference, then to me it sounds a little gimmicky on why Peachtree does include a tube. Maybe on a test bench the difference is there.

That is what I was finding with the stock tube

Yes 6N1p. Hopefully I'm not stuck with a single manufacturer for a tubehttp://www.peachtreeaudio.com/novapre-preamplifier-with-dac.html

Any Columbus audiophile gatherings or listening sessions coming up? 
Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K?
Thanks Sturgus, that may be the route I take. With a good going over from Hillig, I may be disappointed if I purchased another amp. Parasound amps have always intrigued me. I always picture them as more of an HT company, butt have ready tons of go... 
Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K?
Yes the B&K is dark sounding to my ears. Not muffled...just darker than neutral. Much more warm than the Pioneer. If I go the used route, how is the long term quality of CJ amps? 
I just ordered a pair of Zu Omen Def's
I'm getting the amp bug now. The Omen Defs have been sounding outstanding with my pioneer elite receiver. From what I've been reading, a much higher quality amp will bring lots more depth into the soundstage. The Pass Labs amps seem to be a good S... 
My new ZU Omen Def's arrived
Get this to tell you how stupid I was. I hooked up the Def's to same existing cables. I ran a couple of test tones for placement purposes. I noticed the phasing test one sounded stereo. Come to find out, one of the speakers was wired backwards on ... 
My new ZU Omen Def's arrived
BTWW, I had Polk stand speakers before. The spikes are rather difficult to adjust. I placed rubber tips (Hardwood floors) on them which makes sliding easier. I will check out the Herbies. I have the speakers perfectly level and about 1/2 inch off ...
