Budget Tube Integrated? + Tube related questions
PS, like Sfar I also tube rolled a bit and can vouch that Russian mil spec tubes like his, or my 7189s seriously out-perform the stock tubes by a wide margin in every area. I also like the new Gold Lion EL 84s, also have Ei, they too, are better t... 
Budget Tube Integrated? + Tube related questions
I am currently using a Jolida FX 10 in my office system (14X16) and it has been excellent with my Tekton 4.5 speakers (you should consider them for about $300.00, used,less). They blow away the Psbs and Wharfdale in the same price-range. I get a w... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Cwazz, not attacking your opinion of the speaker I am questioning your attack on Gpowered; and, if you don't want an attack on your opinion don't attack my statement on the quality of bass in my room. You don't live here so you couldn't possibly k... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Thanks to gpowered, zmanastronomy, sebrof, and this particular chat I first bought a pair of Tekton 4.5s, was impressed by them so I went and bought a used pair of the Tekton Lore. They are everything gpowered and Zmanastronomy, sebrof, said they ... 
If you had 6K to build a system with used gear?

Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Zman, wish I wasn't sleeping at the wheel when your Lore came up for sale. Since we're talking Tekton, can someone here help me out. I'm playing the 4.5 in desktop system with a Jolida FX10. I don't like the Electro Harmonix EL84s or their 12AX7s ... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
I want to thank everyone who has participated in this chat since it turned me on to a high efficiency speaker with a benign impedance that sounds really good. I'm not, and have never been in to horn speakers; my wife and I come down on the slighty... 
Review: Tekton Design Pendragon Speaker
Thanks for the thoughtful review. I'm wondering what my Cary SEI 300B or Golden Tube 300B, might do with these speakers. Heck, I just bought (still breaking in) Jolida FX10 as desktop/ small room integrated to go with Tekton 4.5s, maybe even they ... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Waiting as well. I bought the 4.5's, they are breaking in as I write this note; my wife loves them so far she would like just a tad more bass, but hey, it is a 4.5 speaker can't expect much more...oh, its paired with a new Jolida FX10, 10 watts, n... 
Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers
I really get a kick out of all the "audiophile" arguing as above. Music is personal. What you like I may not...what floats my boat you may hate...I own a Cary V12 and love it, have owned it for 10 years. To my ears it sounds like music. I am a mus... 
Wonderful 300b tube amps, and reason why.
I have a Cary 300B SEI as well as a Cary CAD 280 V12 (not 300B, but SET) and a Golden Tube 300B II Special Edition. These float my boat, doesn't get much better for the money. 
Vintage Fisher, What's best 500C/B or 800B?
Thank you for your responses...it helps. I think I'm opting for the 500C based on the larger transformers and a few reviews I've seen since posting this question.
