best tube integrated under $5000 ?
Matkwatkiss,What tubes are you using in your dynamo?Kenny. 
Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII?
Dog sport,My vote is for the rm9,I've owned both but not at the same time.I'm just not a fan of the kt88 tube in general and much prefer the sweetness of the el34.I also think the rm9 would be a better match to the 604'sAre the 604's stock or have...

Dracula,Just better parts,no reason to change any crossover points they are exactly where they need to be as Eric designed them,that's the magic of this speaker.I only refined mine a little for personal preferences most people would never need to.... 
Tekton double impacts vs golden ear triton 1 speakers.
Tooth,Yes you need to demo the DI's if you can only one way to find out.I'm thoroughly enjoying mine that's for sure.Disclaimer,only my personal preferences.I personally wouldn't like the GE speakers for the simple fact of the powered woofers, I w...

Lance,I know in past preamps I have had very good results with the Tung sol black glass 6sn7,Slyvania chrome domes and 3 hole bad boys,treasure cv-181-z and the new production Sophia electric 6sn7's but had terrible results with the new production... 
Preamp issue?
Ether,It could easily be aging and or bad tubes,I would switch them side to side and see if the problem follows.Looks like you ruled out the other obvious potential problems.Tubes don't last forever and have to be changed occasionally.Best of luck...

Lance,Are you using 2 of the MZ2's in the same system or do you have 2 systems?The Tung Sol black glass from the 40's is a very good tube,I have 3 pairs of them,they are extremely expensive now and I most definitely will be comparing.Kenny.

Dracula,I can tell you the DI's are extremely coherent with no phase interference or resonant issues.I've down some frequency testing on mine with the proper equipment and I'm just amazed with the results.They sound nothing like the average line a...

I ordered my MZ2 today and should have it in about 3 weeks,I can't wait to try it.I have a extensive collection of 6sn7 tubes already that I have bought and used over the years but I will try my favorite one first and that is a current production ...

I agree with roxy and reubent,I would proceed with caution,are you able to listen to them before purchasing and they would have to be priced right as well.Best of luck to you,Kenny.

Mac,I don't have my MZ2 yet I won't get it for 2 to 3 weeks.I'm kinda like teajay,I have had a few really good 6sn7 based preamps and I have a pretty extensive collection of tubes,I will probably try my very favorite 6sn7 first and that is the Shu... 
Someone want to verify this?
tonykay,I expect to see this mystery unfold on the "Investigation Discovery" channel. Good work, Sherlock!I'm still laughing you made my day.Kenny. 
The all conquering Zerostat
Looks like about $70.00 dollars nowadays,I'm on my third one in 30yrs.I believe all the newer ones are blue I don't know when they made the color change.
