Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805
I have had great luck with The Electro-Harmonix tubes.I own a set of their el-34s that I stick in my Rogue from time to time. It is Auto Bias, and set up for the bigger bottles, and I know that the little 34s are being run hard, but it's a nice ch... 
Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805
Hey Joe!I have to disagree with Trelja, but with a Caveat:I owned the 805 for quite a while, and drove them well with 30 push-pull triode watts from a Rogue Tempest, and a Cary SLI-80 sig, I had great results, but with 6550 or kt-88 tubes.The el-3... 
Beginners Tube Amp Recommendations
go with the jolida.with an aftermarket power cord, and some better tubes, they perform well above their range.Trelja is a big advocate of both Jolida and Totems, so he could probably shed some light on your predicament.He will probably see this th...

Keith.Hit my thread link in the above post.I agree that the Cary SE stuff probably does.But, from the sound of your post, it isn't clear that:A) you were comparing Tempest to SLI-80 SIG, and not just some Rogue you heard somewhere, some time ago, ...

FWIW, I got a good deal on the Cary SLI-80 signature, about a year ago.I decided to give it a try, and man, it is the best looking, most quality-exuding piece I'fe ever owned. IT is beautifully made, that is for sure. I put the Rogue in the corner...

Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared?

New Nordost Cable Valkyrja
Nordost makes good cables, no doubt about it. However, judging from the standard they set RE: pricing (that, sadly, Audioquest et.al. are now chasing) I'd imagine that the fraction will be somewhere near 8/9 the price of the 'halla. 
Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared?
mike, for the sake of argument, were the sony units (and teh phillips) burned in (say, 1-200 hrs) or fresh out of the box.Also, how does the SACD of the Marantz compare to the Phillips?Did you compare all of these in your "home" system?THANKS!!! 
Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared?
I , too like an analog sound.I'm telling you, I have no problems on the 9000es with SACD, but the CD is a little lacking, plus, no CD-R playback.I'm sorry for your pain in the ass with Sony.With a company like that, it's all about getting past the...
