Preamp and DAC to drive KEF Reference 104/2?
What is the size of the room the KEF Reference 104/2s be in? I have a smaller sized room and I had a 1st generation Jolida Tube DAC sending signals to a Kavent S-33 preamp to a Jolida JD-502P amplifier for a bit and all kinds music was awesome sou... 
about the kt 120 tube
There isn't much info about the Tung Sol KT-150 if any at all. I tried contacting to New Sensor directly about the Tung Sol KT-150 and they were mum about it. They told me the Tung Sol website would be updated with information but still nothing.

reco speaker cables for Ohm Walshes?
When I had Ohm Walsh 2 speakers I used Emotiva Ultra speaker cables with them along with a Class D Audio amp. The sound was quite good to me and I didn't break the bank. 
Your choice for budget analog to digital converter
I'm a fan of the Grant Fidelity DAC-09 for my digital to analog conversion duties. I believe they improved on it with the current DAC-11. Lots of flexibility and you could even use it as a tube buffer. I once had a very blah sounding phono preamp.... 
Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better??
I say try the Pioneer Elite PD-D9 Mk 2 SACD player. It is close to the price of the Sony XA5400ES. I had the 1st generation PD-D9 and it was a wonderful sounding player and is well built. 
"this is the product Ohm puts out"
Hi Harley52Any updates? Have heard from Ohm Acoustics or gotten in touch with them regarding your issues? 
Breaking in of CD player?
+1 to what Winoguy17 said. Here is the madness I did before. I would connect my CDP to a preamp or integrated I didn't care about and leave it off. I would then rotate in various CDs, SACDs or DVDs each night. An Isotek CD, a Rives Audio CD, class... 
"this is the product Ohm puts out"
Hi Harley52Have you contacted John Strohbeen of Ohm Acoustics about your issues with the veneer? I'm sure he will help you with your problems. Did you get new Ohm Walsh speakers or were they re-furbed older models? I don't think I've heard anyone ... 
Russian made amps?
I wonder if Russian amp builders/designers used the 6C33C power tubes in some of their designs years ago or if this tube was primarily used by other audio enthusiasts outside of Russia in recent years. 
Class D vs Class A
Yes. Definitely keep us posted Timlub. I have a rebuilt restored Sumo Nine by Mike Bettinger and love its sound in my systems. I am curious to know your results as you have a modified Sumo Nine as well vs Class D type amps. I've listened to Class ... 
Premium guitar cables? Do they exist?
Hey Audiolabyrinth. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be more skeptical now when talking to the pros. How about the cables from Audiopile dot com? They look to be really good quality that won't break your bank. Also I've used Kopul mic cables whenever... 
Premium guitar cables? Do they exist?
When I talk to the pro guys in various music shops when I'm looking for preamp or power tubes a lot of them have sworn by Mogami based cables and DiMarzio guitar cables.

Very true Garcia. Good stuff as usual.
