| Most musical and grainless Holland Amperex 6DJ8/ECC88? If it must be 6DJ8, then Amperex 6DJ8/ECC88 early 60’s white label, non Bugle Boy.Better sonics and low noise is Amperex 6922 PQ gold pins, early 1960’s, Heerlen. | |

| Ethernet cables @mr_gray, what LPS are you using with your router? It seems like a nice upgrade to your system.I wonder if it's helping reduce RFI. The coax feed and the router are full of RFI, as is the wall-wart. |
