Best way to sell a record collection
After I retired I went through my collectiion, about 2,000 and pulled about 400 lps. Took the best 100 to 3 of my favorite used shops and sold a few to one shop. The low ball offers I got resulted in me keeping them. No ebay, no Discogs- too much ... 
Hybrid Integrated with 6S*7s
@stereo5  thank you for responding. The Upscale Audio site indicates the PL hybrid integrated has all 12AU7 tubes.(2 input, 4 driver).  
Hybrid Integrated with 6S*7s
Thx for the replies. I had Primaluna integrateds and PL separates years ago. PL uses 12AU7s in their preamps and integrateds. Reason I ask is I bought a used DeHaviland Ultravere with a 6sn7 pre and l loved the sound with my SS amp. I would like t... 
Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age
I was lucky enough to see the original band while Duane and Berry were still alive. I always thought Betts never got as much credit as he deserved. A real treat for me is his “High Falls” off of Win, Lose, or Draw. Rest in peace and let those lead... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
I have the Van Alstine DVA SET 500 and it is great value and sound. I switch it in/out with my tube monoblocks. Drives my EgglestonWorks Fontaine speakers with ease. 250w A/B. Many reviews on the SET 400 out there, the 500 is the same amp (alittle...

Amplifier and Speaker A/B switcher
Van Alstine. I don’t have their switchbox but it may provide what you need. Apparently there was enough demand for it they did another run of them.  
Amp Recommendations
Try a Van Alstine DVA SET 500. Great sound with music, good value, solid build, no frills, very powerful.   
What was your first record?
Cream - Disraeli Gears lp

Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp
@lak thank you for the reply! I appreciate your time! I will need to get another pair of more efficient speakers if I get this amp so I have not ordered yet. I am considereing the Union 6s. Regardless I won’t be giving up the EgglestonWorks speake... 
Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp
Thx @lak. I tried to read all of the post by him and others on things Coincident and incorrectly thought I had, until I read the @paul_lindemann posts about this amplifier. I think I have the information for which I was looking.   
user poll on seperates vs integrated
I had 2 integrated tube amps for several years that met my needs. Both from the same brand, highly reviewed, greatly enjoyed and my first foray into tubes and I loved the sound. I knew in the future I would go to separates, for the experience, but...
