Rectifier tubes?
I have use both GZ37's and GZ34's in my amp. With the GZ34's the B+ is 425v and the amp has a very taught, muscular robust sound. With the GZ37's the B+ is 400v and the sound is more relaxed with more breath and ease but also slightly softer aroun... 
Sophia Electric 91-01 and 91-5 300B
I am very much enjoying my Sophia 91-05 output transformers and Sophia 300b mesh plates. 
Speakers that do pianos really well
Johnnyb53,Interesting response and most interesting that on my An-E's with my wife's very good ears we could pretty much tell it wasn't a Steinway. I think it is the attack on the 1981 Gould recording that gives it way. So many variables...wow.

Wolf,Sounds like you have a cool gig. Every room sounds different which will effect the piano sound as well. 
Speakers that do pianos really well
To Marty's point--I have a ton of recorded piano music both jazz and classical and each recording sounds totally different. I have not felt it possible to come up with a standard reference recording. BTW my wife and I were listening to the 1981 Gl... 
CALLING ALL YAMAMOTO A-O11 2A3 OWENERS /
Charles 1,I listened to "Night Lights" on line. Very nice. Will put it on my list. I don't have much Art Farmer.

Totally agree with Charles 1 on his assessment of "Chet". I bought a vinyl copy a week ago and cannot get over how beautiful the trumpet sounds. It is as if Baker is somehow still breathing into his horn after he releases a note. Every phrase from...

2nd "Chet" and would add "broken wing" both sound wonderful on Vinyl.

Thanks so much for your kind words Fortapache! I think most of the credit goes to my Audio Note speakers which I dearly love and come to respect more each day. They are on the warm side of neutral but as long a I taylor my electronics to complimen...

Charles,An interesting question and since our systems (speakers especially) are very different. Fortapache's Abbys/2a3 Yammamoto simply make music with immediacy and excellent pace with no embellishment. I was struck by agility of the 2a3/abby's. ...

Fortapache,It was my great pleasure to spend an afternoon with you and your lovely music making system. Thank you for turning me on to music that I had not heard before. Here's to Chet Baker!! Looking forward to seeing you this weekend in my home.... 
Closest DAC to Vinyl Sound?
Heyraz,The TeddyDAC or an Audio Note DAC would be choices generally thought to have the qualities you are looking for. What did you decide on? 
DIY/Home Brew Taking A Risk
I've had good luck with my home brew projects but have not ventured into trying to build box speakers. Too many variables and I don't have wood working skills enough to make beautiful cabinets. Open baffle speakers would be an easy DIY project to ...

Any Suggestions for SS Amp for Devore Nines?
I heard the Nines/Pathos Twin Towers on serveral occations. Made beautiful music to my ears. You can get that amp used for under your price point. The amp is a Hybrid. Tubes on the front end. It gets very hot. Pure class A
