Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to .................
It also depends on if you are using dual triodes or single triodes, and if you are using half wave rectifier tubes or full wave. If you are using half wave rectifiers you can use 4 tubes for a full wave bridge, you can't do a bridge with full wave... 
Stupid class A question
The krell ksa 250 is not class A to full power, only up to about 28 watts or so.  
DAC Under $3000
I would recommend a space tech Lab dac with a super rectifier. I have a space tech Lab dac and there is no hum with or without a preamp. If you go to Canuck audiomart you can read all the user reviews describing just what you are after.  
Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume,
Check out space tech Lab preamps, they have many to choose from with 6sn7/6sl7 tubes, and power tubes for the output stage.  
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
@tubeguy76  Does The Music Room stock them?  
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
@jasonbourne71  the LRS speaker was not measured properly by ASR. Measurements shouldn't be taken of large panel speakers at such a close distance.  
Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension
@jasonbourne71  You need to do some research on circuit breakers, what you said is incorrect. A 15 amp breaker will trip at 80% of it's 15 amp rating which is 12 amps, but that's continuous, breakers are time sensitive. A lot more than 15 amps fo... 
Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?
I see Jasonbourne is now ruining threads on what's best forum.  
Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k
The prima Luna is somewhat hand wired, but I wouldn't call true point to point wired, it seems to have a few circuit boards. True point to point wiring has the components around the tube sockets in almost a star pattern.   
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
@kokakolia  I've had more problems with reliability from the mass market manufacturers then with the small boutique manufacturers.   
Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.
Same as my Ref 750s. Those are here to stay for good. Hopefully you have good air conditioning, those amps will generate a lot of heat. I bought a krell amp from a guy that was using the audio research 610T amps with the kt120 upgrade, and he h... 
AES/EBU cable shootout
I've was a professional sound mixer for 35 years and no one uses audiophile cables in a studio or while recording the very largest film productions. I wonder how the final product can be better (more fidelity) than the originally captured product... 
Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.
@dinov  because of brand recognition, they charge more than it's worth.   
Prospectives on Chi-Fi
@tablejockey  what you are saying is absolutely true, but very sad at the same time.  
Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes?
@sedond  too bad Bob carver could not do it in production. By the way this is an old thread, and Geoff isn't here anymore.
