| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Not only 35 watts, but Roger claims 10,000 tube life on the EL84s. He also claims light loading will extend tube life. | |

| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... The Merlins VSMs are similar - 8ohm, 6.5 ohm minimum:) I agree with you abut the RM10, it is one hell of good amp, good enough that I sold the RM9 Special Edition ($10,000 - 162 watts!)

| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Eccletique, have you tried light loading? I assume, don't ask why, the Tannoys are nominal 8ohms? | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 why do the most expensive cd players and dac (Esoteric, dcs. EMM, etc.) in the world not use tubes? I love tubes, have many, but for some reason the best players I have heard don't seem ti use them - and yes, I do like them. | |
