Best 300B
Hi BrownsfanThanks for going into detail and explaining your experiences with the PSVane 300B T tubes. I was actually looking into the HiFi 300B tubes and the Shuguang Black Treasure tubes. I'll probably skip the HiFi 300B tubes now. The cheaper S... 
Switch box & audio integrity
Hi RoggaeI don't know if this will help you but this is what I use to switch between inputs as one of my preamps only had one set of RCA inputs. It has a nice build quality IMO and I have not experience any sonic degradation in the systems I've us... 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
I found this in another audio forum and I wanted to share this. There are points made about tube differences.http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/post/671788/thread 
New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes?
Was looking into 6BQ5 tubes and found this old thread. One of my favorite tube vendors really likes the SOVTEK EL84M. Says they are "Balanced and Clean" sounding that are very smooth sounding and tons of headroom. Anybody else find this true? 
Need a repair shop for Belles 200 power amp
Hi WayneIf you can't find anyone close to you please let me know. The techs I know that could work on your Belles 200 power amp are in NY and you would be paying a lot of money to have your amp shipped back and forth. That could definitely impact ... 
Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and.....
Hi BarfbagCheck out Response Audio and their Musica Bella line of preamps. They have preamps with tube rectification and HT Bypass. The only issue is that they may be out of your stated budget. You can work with Bill from Response Audio to come up... 
solid state integrateds that will hold their value
For me if you can get a very good condition vintage Accuphase E202 it will hold its value. You would definitely be able to re-sell it close to what you paid for it. 
Best 300B
Are the Shuguang Black Treasure 300B tubes the same as the Psvane 300B-TII tubes out now?Also all these different Shuguang tubes drive me nuts. I saw this one too.Shuguang 300BS-B (replacing 300BA 300B-98B)I'm hoping since some time has passed sin...

Break in for ICs from CDP
Hi Ratbbb2I've done similar to what you are thinking. your ideas are valid and have worked for me. I bought a Memorex CDP for $30 from Radioshack and rotated different CDs each day to break-in the ICs. I used various CDs ranging from test disks to... 
Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.
I like the KEF Q300 bookshelf speakers in that price range you mention. They also work well with tube power. I've used these speakers with Jolida amplification. 
Tube DAC with solid state pre and solid state amp
Hi Pgawan2bI too have the EE Minimax DAC and I run it through the tube output stage. In my system when I switch to the Minimax to the solid state DAC the gain is a little less and the mids seem more dull sounding. My preference is for the tube DAC... 
Tube DAC with solid state pre and solid state amp
Yes. I have Rallais. I use an Eastern Electric Minimax DAC with a Kavent S33 solid state preamp and a pair of Red Dragon M1000 solid state monoblock amps during the summer. This set-up finally made Class D amps very very enjoyable in my system. Go... 
I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet
So Sabai you have all the money in the world to try every tweak? I sometimes want to try these tweaks but at times I question what I'm paying for. An example is the WA Quantum chips. I can't get myself to pay $7.50 for a sticker to place on my fus...
