Tara Labs
Thanks for the followup.  It seems Tara has fallen off the radar as there are not many/any reviews of their cables.  One thing I noted was their spades and banana plugs are gold coated brass.  I was under the impression brass was a lower cost, les...

Great, thanks for the information. I have the 9.0 x as well. Have you upgraded the umbilicus cable as well?  
Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600
One other amp he liked was the AudioNote UK Cobra. He went with the Raven as he did not need the internal DAC in the AudioNote. I really appreciate the input.   
Leben CS600 required tubes
I would suggest Tesla NOS EL34s as another option. I agree regarding the 6P3SE; a bit too forward. Of the 6L6 world, I recommend GE NOS  
Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600

Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600
My Leben is the CS600; so little opportunity to roll the pre-amp tubes.  In fact hard t find replacements. I have rolled the power tubes and currently am running Tesla EL34's which are quite nice.

Socprof; which cable did you end up going with?  
KT 88 with Leben cs 600
Have you all had any experience with the KT77 tubes? How is their sound in comparison to the EL 34 and KT 66? Thanks,   Mike  
KT 88 with Leben cs 600

KT 88 with Leben cs 600
Thanks for the update.  I am aware of the above chart. Currently listening blissfully to some NOS EL 34. Hope I get a good 5 years out of them. Thanks again  
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
Just to clarify;  I am unable to move the components closer to the speakers. This is due to spousal limitations in the placement of furniture etc within the room.  
Clarus Crimson vs Clear Beyond.
How would you describe the Clarus Crimson sound?  
Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables
Has anyone had the opportunity to do a comparison of the Duelund  cables and the Jupiter product? Are there sonic differences?
