How long does Class A have?
@clearthinker Threatened by a teenage girl? We should just sit back and do nothing I suppose…You’re an idiot. 
High-pass line filter to relieve main speakers from low frequency
Built one of these for a friend to use with his Spendor  BC-1’s for the exact reason you are wanting to implement.Here is a link to capacitor values as the apply to the input impedance of the power amp. I suggest buying a bunch of cheap capacitors...

And with Thorium on the horizon, class A will cease to be a concern…http://thorenergy.no

And what’s with these “men” tailing aim at a young girl?Threaten easily, do we?

It’ll be around. Fear not.Tubes are still in use, vinyl is till being played, class A will be around.As far as the environment goes, wonder what is dirtier to make. A gallium nitrate chip, or a class A chip. 
Capacitor
The Miflex caps offer great performance for the price. They are modeled on the Duelund caps which are insanely expensive.Obligatto caps also offer great performance for the price. Used both brands when recapping my tube amp and have also used in o... 
Speakers for triode tube amps
From what I’ve gathered, the impedance curve of the driver and the ability of the amp to manage the peaks and valleys will very much dictate how well the combo will sound.Damping factor will play a role when it comes to how well the amp will contr... 
NEVER BUY CHEAP CASSETTES - - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Why on earth, after putting all the effort into getting a system together, then taking the time to record materials, would you go for cheap tapes? 
Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?
@clearthinker   "Novelty and change are massively over-rated."Have to say, I strongly disagree with that statement. I think the word "novelty" is trivializing the process by which some of us "mix it up". And how can change be over rated? If, thing... 
Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?
I certainly don't like listening to the same piece of music over and over again. I don't eat the same kind of food every day, for do I use the same fork.I like being able to swap out amps/speakers so that I can change up my enjoyment. SEL-57's don... 
Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG
He told you the straight goods, giving you the opportunity to bail.Still fail to see the reason for the outrage. 
Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG
Still not understanding the outrage? Or for that matter, why you are clinging to it?Perhaps, a log of its use, including hours played, what music was played and what, if any, food was consumed during the sessions…Did you ask any questions when you... 
Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG
Whats the issue?The seller has been on AGon since 2013, has a 100% positive rating and regularly sells high end product. If you were concerned, you should ask admin to verify his ratings.I fail to see the point of trying to create problems or rais... 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Main integrated is a Cary SLI-50. Sounds really great with both my Cornwalls and my ESL-57'sBought it new waaaay back and have a hard time imagining letting it go.Also have a Heathkit SA-3 EL84 based integrated that runs in SET. Its being rebuilt ... 
My battle with sibilance.
Put it on. This is one of the few records that somehow survived in storage at my parents basement - I bought this when it first came out. Quite a "thin" sounding recording. Think I know why it survived. Must have left it in their basement because ...
