EL 34s for Cayin A 50T Integrated Amp
Olimpico,Where can you get a quad of those ? Thinking about trying them on my Dialogue II. 
deHavilland Mercury II owners
The Mercury II is an incredible preamp. Unfortunately I had a mismatch with the amplifier I was using back then. I wouldn't mind owning the Mercury again. 
Tube Integrated with deep bass
Plato,I own the Dialogue II and even though it's a great amp it does not reach deep down like my previous tube amp. Granted, my previous system was separates. Anyways, I have changed power cords to MAS ( Audioone Reference ) and also BMA Pinnacle ...

Meisterskleef,You are right, i have a gain mismatch. The power amp's input sensitivity is too high. I have a decision to make since padding down the preamp would change the sonic signature. 
What's a Triode configuration?

My Krell Krc 3 was dead quiet. 
Opinions on deHavilland Mercury 2
Thanks guys. I have a Mercury 2 coming my way. It's a brand new unit so it's going to take a few days before posting my impresions. 
Legacy Classics and Tubes
Thanks. I wanted to confirm before plugging everything in. My reasoning was the fact that i used some Cicada loudspeaker when the amp was at the repair shop and the amp sounded so powerful that i could not believe it.
