Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission?
I have to mention that the latest (+) plus mods are a very big improvement in sound. If you have an older ZOTL40 the cost of the plus mods are well worth the price and the bump is bigger than that of pricey NOS tubes.  
Linear Tube Audio- Little Known Great- Linear Power Supply
Mark Schneider and the team at LTA know their way around a power supply. It all starts with David Berning. He is truly the Guru of tube amplification and the inventor of the ZOTL circuit, the first real change, or improvement in tube amplification... 
Centre channel for TAD ME-1 or Joseph Audio Pulsar graphene
I'm not sure about which center channel to get but the TAD ME-1 are among the finest speakers for 2 channel that I've ever heard. I wish I hadn't sold them. You can't go wrong.  
Definitive Technology, Inc.
I also had a pair I purchased in the early 90’s. I gave them to a friend, but if I were to sell them, I would probably ask maybe $200, maybe $300 bucks.

High powered single end 300b recommendations
Why 300B? I have a pair of Modded Altec Lansing 1570B, each mono block using (2) 811A triodes with NOS Peerless transformers. These mono’s are making 165 watts and sound incredible.  
PS Audio Power Plant 15........
I found that my P15 made all of my low powered gear sound great but cannot handle a high powered SS amp. It killed the dynamics when using with my old Coda #16. Plug directly to the wall and get a dedicated line from the panel if you can. It made ... 
Tonian Labs....Still Around?
His speakers and his recordings made for the most realistic sound I've ever heard at a show.  
New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
So after hundreds of hours with these cables I feel like they just keep smoothing out. The sound is absolutely incredible. The big secret is to not move the cables at all. It makes it very difficult to do A-B testing against other cables but at th...
