| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? My Merlins are mmi version, serial numbers 4167 & 4168.I'm not married to my ss monoblocks, in fact, I'd like to simplify providing I can achieve equal or better sound. Selling the amps, preamp and various wires would pay for the change. | |
| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? I see an ARS-Sonum Filharmonia integrated listed for sale. I hear it's a good match for Merlins as well. Which way to go? | |

| Radiotechnique 12AU7/ECC82/6189 Sonics Thanks for the input, but a broad coharacterization and general history isn't what I'm looking for. I'm interested in the specific sonic differences between the long and short plates, between the various years of each, and between the 12AU7 and th... | |
| "Best" 12BH7/A tubes? Thanks, Thorman. Pinch plates? What type of getter and lettering? Ditto RCA. You think the Sylvania has the best balance of detail and body? | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? I do not have a problem with somebody expressing an opinion... but you are adding nothing substantive to the point of the conversation. | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Nor do I refrain from utilizing the convenience of the expression for the few people who take it literally. | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? A few, not a lot, I think. Still, I don't feel the compulsion to set everybody straight whenever the word "best" pops up. |
