Exemplar Denon 2900 Tube Rolling
What family of tube is that? I am no tube expert but am always willing to learn. What are some of the more typical drop ins. Have you tried "tube asylum" in Audio Asylum lots of people who seem to be quite knowledgeable.

Who Carries it as an Lp? 
Phono Preamp
From what I have read you may have 3 12Ax7 in your pre. I have heard that tubes can be a real problem when it comes to being great pick ups for RFI. If you can audition a pure solid state phono pre that would make you happy that might be the trick. 
The best mid priced Grado In your opinion?
The Czech arm is by Project I believe. Thanks again for serious answers.

Best table to Expect To Find at a Garage Sale
I am impressed with your finds, I have never even come close to that level of table. I would be very happy if I found a good Dual. I am not dreaming of a Rockport. Yes I am hoping for a REKO-CUT or Empire or the like not a Sirius, please be seriou...

Buy my SP6B its a wire with gain and expand your budget, do the CD mods and the Speaker mods, you have a great system. You just need to buy my ultra clean super modded legendary preamp, while your at it. 
Anybody heard the new Gingko Tubulous speakers?
Sure they are a bargain. Its isobaric I think. They do look a bit odd for a speaker but you might get a kick out of it. And yes they have more bass than they have a right to but there drivers inside the tubular housing as well don't forget. So tha...

I have heard thd DA-60 with both tubes the EL-34 and the KT 88s but not for very long with the KT-88s. I can tell you we did a tube shoout out of EL 34s and then stuck in a very good brand of KT-88 (not genelex), And the amp sounded terrible but t... 
Classic speakers to hunt down used

The Single Piece That Started Today's HIGH END ?
Agree with you Eldartford it seems to be a philosophy more than virtually anything else. 
The Single Piece That Started Today's HIGH END ?
Keep it coming guys this is interesting. I own some of the vintage pieces mentioned the classic horns, 46 y.o JBLs, an SP6 ARC preamp, but I think the preamp I was looking for is the one that Dr.Joe mentioned which was the JC-2- more than 3 times ... 
Anyone heard or own Klipsch RF7 ?
Yes but I can't tell you what I think they could be unbeilvably good and the most magical and musical speaker or screetching nightmare excuses for what Klipsch used to be. If you aren't always positive in these forums then you suffer the slings an... 
McIntosh vs. Accuphase
Own a Mac vintage amp with thhe gain controls and an old Accuphase preamp. They are very differentin my view from a sonic philosophy but either willcan simmer down a hard edged speaker or digitis elsewhere in your system. I own an old Kenwood same...

Ask Pierre Gabriel . I understand he is very accomodating and may surprise you. Also Trelja knows most of the differences Springbok might also help you. One thing I can say is if you get either you are getting a truly great amp. That is if some on...
