| Getting started w/ tube equipment lots of good advice here. Something to consider is the inevitable retubing of a tube amp or preamp. I'll add that you want to find an amp that doesn't run the tubes excessively hard so you keep your retubing expenses reasonable if economics are im... | |

| Audio Research VT100 tube replacement great sounding amp, congrats! IMO I wouldn't mess around too much w/NOS unless you get them from someone who really knows how to competently test & truly match or you're asking for trouble. If you short an output tube (not fused in ARC) you'll... | |
