@jmolsberg I went ahead and swapped in the Sofias in the MZ2 last evening after reluctantly putting the Sylvania back in the driver socket of the amp.In that configuration the sound took a giant leap forward that caught me totally by surprise.I pu...

jmolsberg I am using Sylvania 12AT7 and the original Tung Sol SN7.I think the Sofias would sound excellent in the M2 but it's working so well in the amp that I have no desire to try them now.But I will give it a try anyway this weekend just to sat...

Will do brownsfan. 
Tone, Tone, Tone !
jaferd that's what I think too:)I've striven to assemble a system that does both.Not perfect, but the beauty of tone with enough detail to not get boring.Detail without a organic tone is fatiguing to me. 
What is the name of your system?
Mine is named Aric because every few days I'm always changing something on the Aric Audio amp.Switching out tubes,tweaking the gain or feedback,or something. "What can we try differently today Aric?" Audio geek fun:)

Question For My Electrical Expert Friends
An not plug your amp into a small power conditioner with a longer cord that will reach the outlet?Perhaps a Furman? 
What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?
The loudest sound I've heard is when lightning struck a utility pole about 20 ft away from the room where I was sitting.I don't want to hear it reproduced on any system😮 
Tone, Tone, Tone !
Tone(timbre),detail,dynamics,soundstage in that order are most important to me.If it's not 100% correct in someone else's opinion no matter. 
Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps
Of course you should use recordings you know and love.Nothing wrong with enjoying something new and adding to your favorite evaluation tracks.I saw EJ live twice and the recordings don't do him justice.He's an amazing piano player!He slurs his voc...
