| 12ax7 vs 5751 GrayfIt is good to hear someone enjoying the process instead of simply obsessing...Are the Telefunken12ax7s just a standard issue or do they have different ones? | |

| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Have you looked at the Thor ta2000 listed right now? I think he has it at around 2900 but you may be able to get it at close to your budget.
