Berning ZH270 Tweaks
Sorry for the late reply. At first, I didn't find any improvement with the Hal-O's on the power tubes. In fact, I thought it robbed some dynamics and made the sound "boring". After my local dealer told me to try with one of the tube-touching rings... 
Berning ZH270 Tweaks
Update:On each of the larger Hal-O's (35X) for the 6JN6s, I have removed one of the four "rings" that actually touches the tube. This has improved the sound noticeably - brought out the air and easiness and increased the dynamics a little bit. Try...

Amp suggestion for Kharma Ceramique 2s??
Aolrsw, Jtinn and Thorman, thanks for your responses. Aolrsw or Thorman, I've read somewhere that TPA 60 is much better than the 30. Any thoughts? The 60s are probably out of my reach (price-wise), but was just curious. Also, are you getting good ...
