Siemens EL 34
I'm liking the Tung Sol EL34B's that came with my Will Vincent ST-70 although I have nothing to compare them to - it's my first EL34 amp and I think I'm hooked on the EL34 sound.  Now if I could just forget about trying QS Mid-monos and be happy:)... 
Siemens EL 34
FYI, there is a Quicksilver Audio group on face book and an EE audiophile there who used to work for QS about 30 yrs ago remarked this about his new KT monos: KT Monos w KT170s is what I’ve been running for the last 5 months and I’m loving the ma...

Try checking with fellow audiogoners pdreher and clio09.  clio09 is now RAM Labs and a great guy very knowlegable.  
Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp
agree with jasonbourne52 seek out a ST-70 properly refurbished.  I bought a new custom build recently from retroaudio on US audiomart for peanuts just to have a tube amp to rotate and it's more enjoyable in my system than my previous RM-10.  He's ... 
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
Tannoy Stirling GR owner here I just acquired a new custom build Dynaco ST-70 by Chris Keller in NC and it's an amazing piece.  I've owned a bunch of tube amps over the years and this is really fantastic and an amazing value.  My last tube amp was... 
Bi-Wire Cables under $350 (Used or New)
If 5 feet works for you I have a pair of DH Labs Q-10 bi-wired double run you could try.  Essentially a shotgun pair w/spades on amp end and banana plugs on speaker ends all factory terminated.  
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
now for something completely different....I'm using the new Atma-Sphere class D monos with my Stirling GR's and think it could be something you might like.  My listening session last night was memorable I'm not sure anything could better it except... 
My first tube integrated: which one to get?
Cary all the way.  Years ago I owned a couple SLI-80's and the Cronus Magnum I.  Cary is all hardwired point to point wired unlike Rogue and sounded way better to me especially in triode mode.  
Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track
Dekay sure LOL, cough cough, shoved in just right on the underside of the case.  Denatured wood alcohol & q-tips to clean the heads.  And the hokey vinyl covered cases for them that looked like cheap luggage.  Anything detroit built had 6x9's ... 
Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects
Sorry petg60 I should have clarified I’m talking about AES-48 compliant components only please excuse my omission on that.  
Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects
I was recommended by some very knowledgeable and respected high end manufacturers of amps and preamps the "Mogami Studio Gold Neglex Quad XLR" and bought it at Sweetwater pro music store online for a little more than $100/pair.  The Mogami website... 
Arcam CD23 worth saving?
That was/is a great CD player I had the CD23 & CD23T years ago and kept coming back to the ring DAC players.  Finally gave up on spinners after changing out 3 laser drives on my most recent Cary CD players and went with a DAC/streamer setup gl... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
Congrats on the Quicksilver mid-monos simna they out to be great w/your Tannoys.  Yes, there are a good many Tannoy fans here.  I've been thru a lot of tube amps and am smitten with new class D monos from Atma-Sphere paired with Stirlings.    
Cable burn in
Hey chiadrum I have a Cary DMS-600 I bought used as a trade-in from Cary and am enjoying it immensely.  I asked Cary if it was a truly balanced circuit (conforms to AES-48 standard) via XLR's and they said yes (?).  I run the Cary direct into bala... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
  hgeifman-  I've had the new Atma-sphere class D monos in my system for exactly 3 weeks today not using a pre-amp and they sound fantastic.  I researched whether or not they could be driven by my Cary DMS-600 before I took the plunge.  They are ...
