Try AKFest 2010 in Detroit suburb this weekends.Tyler and Salk will be there.I like my Tyler Linbrook SS. I will try both Salk and Tyler in AKFest and see which would fit more to my taste. 
Biamping with BAT vk200 and vk60?
Many thanks.I see that the vk60's gain is also 26dB. I will try it anyway with new power tube sets and see what happens. 
Biamping with BAT vk200 and vk60?
Sure, thanks.I won't try it until I get a response from BAT. 
Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case?
I guess, this shows what would happen?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KOjn9ii2Jg&feature=related

If you still have the problem after all tips you have followed, try to distance your turntable as much from the speaker and see if it helps. 
Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case?
I guess I was lazy and ignorant. I assumed that a new tube amp was factory biased and I should not fiddle with it, and also I did not want to damage my amp by screwing up. Now I feel like I need to know more about biasing. 
Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case?
Thanks for all.I did not bother to bias my tube amp, and I am selling one (Chinese made) and get an amp with auto bias feature (BAT vk60).Any way, is this a good reference for biasing?http://www.aikenamps.com/Biasing.htmlAny of you have other source? 
Biamping with BAT vk200 and vk60?
No take yet?vk30 has two main oututs -- XLR and RCA. May I use both of them at the same time? I am thinking of connecting XLRs to vk60 and RCAs to vk200. And let vk60 drive the tweeter and vk200 drive the woofer/midrange.Would it be OK, or would i... 
BAT Thoughts.....
So, that is why some people have different amps for summer and winter?I have VK-200 and VK-30, and am trying to get a VK-55 or VK-60, or even VK-75 to be prepared for next winter. ;-) 
Help with a BAT pre - amp
Can the same problem happen on VK30 (non SE version)? 
Copland CTA504 tube amp - how good are they?
Thanks for your response.Pop and rock are one of my least likings, even tough I occasionally listen to them. My preference is most on classical music and 50~60 jazz and vocals. Looks like it is worthwhile to explore more. 
Polk LSI15's to Salk Song Towers
Is it?I thought all Salk speakers are in different leagues from those mass produced speakers at similar price range. 
Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp?
Looks like RM-9 is a good choice and it is within my budget. I will be looking for it.Thanks. 
Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp?
I have 4 almost new Siemens EL34 tubes and a few more (4~6 Russian/Chinese) variants. If I go for monoblocks, sure I need to use 8 or more tubes, but I'd rather stick to a single steroe amp.It might not save me whole a lot by sticking to EL34 tube... 
Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp?
Thanks for your response.From your suggestions, VTL-85 ($999) and Quicksilver KT-88 Monos ($1050) look interesting, if I don't restrict myself to EL34 tube amps. I am not looking for int amps since I am going to use my vk-30 as pre. How about Copl...
