Some amps I never heard of...
I do not have any of the Vincent products that you described, but I do have an SP 331 MK hybrid power amp. I like the sound quality. The bass texture is what stands out the most to me.  
MORE Esoteric problems
Reading this thread makes me happy I did not pull the trigger on a used Esoteric UZ-1. I asked the seller how long the unit had been in service, and all he did was send the the add again as a response. Instead I bought a Moon 360d for about 200.00... 
Thank you AudiogoN and users, for civility....
Hmmmmmmm, I'll have to check stock where I work to see if there is any grade B syrup. What was the question again? 
Mid Morning Listening Sessions - Sounds the Best
There are less external noises mid-morning and at night where I live, so those are the best times for me. I have a tube preamp and a hybrid power amp so I can't leave them on all day.  
My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome...
Which Carver tube amp? Just curious.

Heavy Metal Anyone?
I’m a bit taken aback at the statement regarding Knopfler not being able to make in metal, then settling. Mark plays very difficult pieces. If you listen to other guitarists they will state that Knopfler is quite good. I don’t agree that any genre...

Best Value Line Stage Tube Preamps?
@ hickamore, Sorry about the late response The tubes that came with the Freya Plus were Tung-Sol 6SN7 as someone noted before. There were two options and I chose the Tung-Sol. I replaced them with General Electric GTB's from Canada. The Tung Sol s... 
Static from tubes
@ Newbee both tubes had static that I noticed only after changing the tubes for the third time. I tried a combination, and I used both sets. @Ghosthous. changing the tubes is what seemed to cause the static. It started, then stopped after a bit. T... 
Static from tubes
Unfortunately for me, if the volume is low I can still hear the static even during play. Thanks for your response. I try to keep a pillowcase over the unit and remove it during play but I was not doing this early on. 
Static from tubes
Its about 16 feet from my router, but not necessarily from my neighbors. I may have to move where I am placing my preamp if this is the case. I'll talk to my neighbor. Thanks.
