Top resistors
I have been using Allen Bradley 2watt 1k for the Cathode resistor. (R6 on the Joe Roberts 91a Schematic).A friend lent me 2 watt AN tantalums. Wow the detail is addictive..really natural, warm and beautiful. The only problem in my particular syste... 
What is best way to learn to build own equipment?
Build a Spud amp kit. Jerry Curtis offers one. This amp is distributed by Hawthorne Audio. You may enjoy reading about their open baffle speakers which could also be a nice DYI project. 
Hey Tube Rollers - Thoughts on Shanguang Psvane?
Got Psvane 300b's from partsconnexion. They have 250 hours so far. Sound pretty good and making music, but missing some transparency. Good extended low/high frequency response. Not yet as enjoyable as my Sophia Mesh.The Psvanes probably need more ... 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
Dracule1,Could you put into words what you mean by "Zing"?I listen to alot of classical and in the bow of the string I sometimes notice something that sounds sort of plastic. I should say, I notice it very infrequently. Larryi, Sounds like your pr... 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
How do you like the Duelands? The TFTF V-caps sound good but sometimes I think I hear the teflon. (might be my imagination :)) May try AN copper caps. 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?

Top resistors
From what I have read it is a good practise to not use just one brand of resistor in your project. The result could start to sound too much like that resistor.A hint that a friend sent me about Alen-Bradley carbon resistors: bake them at 180 degre... 
amplification for devore fidelity nines ?
Although I no longer own the Pathos TT, I really liked it driving the Devore Nines. Plenty of power to drive the woofers. Very deep soundstage. 
Almarro a318B and Audio Note ANe Speakers
Thank you Janj1. I have breadboarded a WE91A 300b amp with Audio Note output transformers. Am enjoying listening to it drive the ANe's. The amp has good pace and a lovely smooth tone. Once I am through tinkering with the sound, will need to deside... 
Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's
Spent a considerable amount of time with the Nine's (wonderful speaker!!) before settling on the Audio Note AN-E.
