Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling .
Hi there, I've been so happy with it that I decided to leave it alone. I have done extensive tube rolling with my 518Ia and that's made incremental benefits. I've never been happier with my stereo end to end. Both the CD player And my TT are sound... 
Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic
If you get a chance you should try a pair of WE845 by psvane. They are a very interesting tube. They make everything subtlely better. They let you listen deeper into the details of the music in all areas. I did have some reliability issues, but on... 
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
+1 Line Magnetic 518ia .... Or 219ia if your bank balance and back can manage it.

Thanks holter. I am looking at ways of using the balanced out. It is, after all , what the tube was designed for . My current thinking is to pair it with the pass labs xa30.8. But my planets have to align before I make that purchase. It's a very d...

Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.
After much wailing and gnashing of SET's . I have come to the conclusion that the Westminsters love big power. The Sophia electric 300b's didn't work for me, and the parallel mono block 845's didn't work very well either. Right now however they ar...

Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.
Tboooe, yes I don't know how they do it. I know this sounds corny but I listened to the Einstein in a couple of different systems and in each system it was like an extra layer of sound was sort of revealed. I don't know if this is because it is so...
