Add used A Physics Virgos to your list. Could fit your bill...Enjoy the search! 
Best EL34 ?
I tried Sylvania. Soft, lush (nicely) sounding. The best experience I had was with military grade telefunken. Mine came in a standard gray box with the tele logo & the (german?) army order No on it. Very good resolution, good transient attack,... 
Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers
Can you dispense with the adaptor and tightly screw part of your spades (i.e. 1/2) onto the the B&W posts? I think that'll be better than adding another connection to the conductor chain... Had a similar case with bearlabs (cardas spades) and ... 
Speaker upgrade - please advise.
While I'm in line w/ Ernie, above, I've had wallet-busting experience relating to "transducer" choice. I have purchased "great sounding" speakers in the past (A Physic Medea) -- great sounding with other amplification, that is. For "other", please... 
Record-playing Rituals?
Geez, Longplate, I've been racking my brains for yrs trying to figure out why that thing popped out of the cdp! Thanks to you, I found use for the other cdp in the cupbord... electric coasters especially effective when listening to music with frie...

Hey, Detlof, it seems we're keyboarding simultaneously. Just saw yr post after posting mine. Reserve on lithium set high, guys. 10/10 quality and condition. Shipment *included*. Detlof, I've wanted to ask this: do you speak Hungarian?Cheers all (I...

J, take it easy on the driving... don't U want out of circulation again. Between you & D-K's pills, take it real cool. How about Kubla doing the driving after the party -- Kubla R U sober???

We're progressing quite nicely, I think. D-K, a scotch chaser should do the trick *and* keep the urinary background vocals going as well (candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker...). Detlof, there *must* be a pill combination that impairs one's hear... 
Positioning and Listening distance
Interesting, Sean. I have found dynamic dipoles to be the most difficult to position following speaker placement fundamentals. Dipoles subscribe to the multiplicity of drivers (and bigger physical size) you refer to. The lower register is an examp...

D-K, thanks for the tip! Regarding cheapo cognac, Detlof, I remember (a drunk) N. Simone yrs ago spitting out a gde champagne and screaming for a glass of the cafe stuff. BTW at don't you find that cognac makes the system sound worse the morning a... 
Who R U?
Indeed, David99! I second the motion! 
need help with choosing right cables
Hi. *Source* is were the musical signal originates in your system, i.e. in this case, your cd playback. Leafs is suggesting you keep the cables for now and consider upgrading the digital combo first, then the amplification.I second this view. Nume...

G'day, Redkiwi, mate -- & thanks again for your help. 
Is 500 hours of break in really nec.?
Interesting, Liguy. When trying to gauge the effect of "burn-in" in the past, I would come up against a familiarity factor -- i.e., getting used to the sound of the new cable with time. In this respect, getting "better" (burn-in) could actually me...

Back to basics. Detlof, WHICH cognac? Also, what free associations run through your mind as you consider the brand *before* drinking? AS you're drinking? AFTER? Can we thereby compose the neo dadaist, audiogon-song of musical drinking? More in lin...
