6550 Tung Sol
All I can say is that I got some for a buddy of mine who has Rogue 120 mono blocks and he said that they were more musical and sweeter sounding the the EH he had in the amps.Happy Listening. 
Best mid priced DAC for use with Cal Audio CL 15?
The transport is less critical in my opinion then the dac and digital cable. One of the best tube dacs are the older Audio Logic 34s that you can find for around $1000 depending on the chip set inside. They can be modified by the manufacturer to c... 
Speaker choices, $1000-2000 Smooth & Musical
Used pairs of Alon II, IV or Vs.Happy Listening. 
Digital Cables : Coax or Optical which is best?
The best designed and made cable is the best.Happy Listening. 
Any suggestions on a PC for an aleph P?
Kworks power cord made by a local designer in New Jersey. The cord will outperform all the other cords except the higher priced Shunyatas and Elrod EPS 3 and up (it beat the EPS-2 sig on my CDP).Happy Listening. 
cdp/transport for trivista 21
There are some good transports that are cheap by todays standards, I have tried a ton of them and have found that the digital cable was more important then the transport.Happy Listening. 
Background Voice On Bridge Of Sighs ?
Yes, I know exactly what the voice is saying "Pat get off Agon and get a life!" I can hear it plain as day in my AC treated system with all my components dampened! I even hear the same voice on my Back Street Boys unmastered greatest hits collecti... 
Anyone using silicone oil for dampening??
Jkring,I have the opposite experience with dampening. First having the room treated and having quite AC were the first issues that were addressed. Once that was completed, the dampening of the entire rack of components, each individual component a... 
Anyone using silicone oil for dampening??
Thanks Rushton,I was looking at the silicone oil to use in dampening my racks and components by making/finding some type of small pads that I could sit my components or rack shelves on. Not sure what but in reading about dampening materials, silic... 
Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant
Opalchip, the upgrades make a difference if you know a tech who can tell what parts will make the biggest improvements and what ones to leave alone so that you are not just replacing parts for the hell of it. Try Miller Sound in PA.Happy Listening. 
Mullard New ReissueTubes???
Yes Albert is correct. I know the guys at New Sensor and they are good tubes for the price but don't compete with the "real: tubes. Don't get fooled, BTW you never know who you are bidding against either.Happy Listening. 
TDL transmission line speakers
They have to be 20 years old if I am correct, with a 6x9 type woofer. There are much better speakers for the used prices, such as Alon IIs, IV, & Vs, Vandersteens, etc.And once you buy the TDLs good luck trying to resell them.Happy Listening. 
Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords
The Kworks Empowered cord, it is not a tone contro but built to reject AC noise. It sounds more natural then any of the major brand cords that I have tried under $600. I do prefer the Elrod non sig EPS 3 to it on my amp but it was a close call and... 
Best transport for under $500
Agree with Jab but the dac and digital cable will be the biggest difference.
