| Would you pay to audition speakers Agree with Tvad. Wait for the "going out of business, everything must go" sale, and then strut in there with your best sh*t-eating grin. | |
| What amp to choose? I haven't been a huge fan of the Krells, but admittedly, I've only heard them a few times and none were the newer models. My suggestion was based mostly on the Halo's ability to provide effortless power to your Omegas. I just thought that it would... | |

| First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand? One last thing: When you do blow a tube, it's not going to happen when you're running on the treadmill to "Night at the Roxbury". It's going to occur during an ethereal moment of musical epiphany. Be prepared! | |
| First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand? By all means, once you've decided the amp is a keeper, follow Tvad's advice. I also recommend that you keep extra output fuses around; when I blow a tube, I blow a fuse. I can replace my tube locally but not the fuse. | |
| Opinions on vintage cj amps and Teflon cap mods Hi Casouza, Your post helps tremendously. You addressed all of the issues in question. Ultimately, I have to make a decision and it would seem to come down to this: 1) Would I be better off trying to restore these amps to as close to original spec... | |
