Sylvania VT-231 (6sn7),NOS 40's vintage, and some more Amperex 7308s.WHile I was waiting, Dekay's 7308 (also Amperex) have opened up nicely, (I wonder if he used them at all?) and Musicdoc's Sylva... | |

| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Chelillingsworth, you don't like Rega and you don't like Cary- that's fine by me, and you might be right(I'm assuming that you'v tried them in your system, and that they were the only variable being changed) but in my house, you might find yoursel... | |
| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Chelillingsworth: Have you heard both at home?That's where the real decisions get made...I think it's hard to tell until you live with a piece on your own time for a while, usually the loaner period that the nicer dealers allow is only enough to g... | |
