what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.
I would only invest in rebuilding an old vintage tube amp. Eico Hf 89, Heath Kits, Dynaco, etc. Circuit boards delaminate with heat and time, thus my lack of interest, not to mention the sonics. Pt 
The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage
Ptss, in response to your question, I have listened extensively to Cardas Golden Ref power cables as well as Audience. Shunyata Anaconda, Synergestic, and others, etc. Power conditioning has been Bryston Bit20, Gray Substation, PS Audio Powerplant... 
The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage
A friend of mine left his on 24/7 and he well past a year and no issues....a lot of tube hours. I turn mine off. No need to add tube hours. The tubes MUST be matched and VH Audio has the world's only known tube matcher for C3JA, C6JA.... (they des... 
The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage
I e-mailed Chris, at VH Audio, the importer for the Plasmatron and asked him to elaborate more as to why it (Plasmatron/Tyratron tubes) works. He held his cards very close to the vest as he stated intellectual property was in the process of being ... 
Best AC line conditioning devices?
I have not used any Sound Application devices. I might add that I loaned my unit to a retail dealer for YG Acoustics...he bought one .....says a lot to me. They are only available factory direct. He trusts his ears, he has very good ears, and hear... 
Best AC line conditioning devices?
I have heard the SR power cell, and their limited production unit, top of the line R. Grey, PS Audio, and many others. I neglected to mention the Plasmatron can be plugged into your high current conditioning/surge protected outlet. One of the best... 
Anybody own or hear the Wavestream linestage?
I just heard the Wavestream and yes, it is in the league with the best. Very uncolored, big and open sound, great transients well textured and a real statement piece. I want one.....and they are beautiful as well. (Phono and linestage) PT 
Best AC line conditioning devices?
If you just want to cut to the chase, do try the Plasmatron at VH Audio. A very underrated product. What it does for digital is just wonderful. Analog benefits as well btw. I took mine to 6 audiophile friends houses and all but one bought a unit. ...

RIP Harry Pearson. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and loved ones. PT 
Silver cables or copper?Any opinons.
The most complete sound I have found has been silver plated copper (interconnect and speaker cable) and this has been also confirmed with several philes- friends in their systems. Many variables though can affect the sound however. Design/configur... 
R. I. P. Jack Bruce
I just watched the "Cream Reunion" from the RAH in his honour...and still raises them goosebumps......maybe even more now. Yes, he will be missed. A great person, and musican....Plasmatech. 
Tube amp modding
I have the VCap CUTF in my tube amp, and they do make a significant improvement. A more textured organic midrange, but no loss of detail, in fact, possibly more, with more layers of information. Add to that a big jump in dynamics. Without a doubt,...

Vaughn loudspeakers will return with their true reference level Plasma Tweeters. None better. Hear for yourself....pt 
Amplifier specs, does they matter?
Yes, specs matter, despite all the hype that only listening matters. That being said, few have speakers really able to test the spec limits. I have seen many highly rated amps have a square wave at 30 Hz completely distorted and worse as the frequ...
