behringer reference?
People call Behringer equipment, "cheap" and/or "cheaply built" because it is. Why do you suppose the front panel IS, "a bit cheap and plasticy"? In the venue installs I do, my cheaper customers always get Behringer. It's the cheapest and easiest ... 
When did you know that music was your passion?
I was 10 when I discovered what "FM" meant on my parents'(who never listened to music) DuMont AM/FM/TV(B&W). That would have been 1958. Shortly after, Brubeck came out with 'Take Five' and I was hooked on Jazz. Four years later: I started play...

What's funny is that the thing doesn't FEEL like there's ANYTHING in there when you pick it up. When UPS delivered mine and I lifted the box: I wondered if they forgot to ship it. Sure do work though, don't it? I'd like to have mine upgraded, but ... 
Reaching the top and stoping
The only thing in my experience that will never be replaced is LIVE MUSIC! Of course: The equipment/acoustic treatments we utilize in producing/listening to that is constantly evolving too.

Altec Lansing A7's 50's model
Altec still supplies parts(diaphragms/woofer re-coning kits) for the drivers to all their authorized repair/warranty stations. Waldom Electronics supplies re-coning shops everywhere, and parts that will make the woofer LOOK original, but it will l... 
300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b
Mr F: Regarding caps in the power supply(like that 1000uF): The more capacitance, the greater the dynamic range/headroom of the amp. If I were going to mod the power supply: I'd find Sanyo OS-CONs(http://www.diyparadise.com/oscon.html) of the same... 
300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b
The output transformer's low turns ratio(8:1), it's quality and circuit simplicity of the Cary will always keep it in the lead sonically(WELL- someone is certain to outperform it eventually, BUT-at what cost?). In these forums you'll find a lot of... 
sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp?
You might also look for amps that are built with oil/paper caps in the signal path. Those lend the sound that you are searching for as well. 
sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp?

sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp?
What 6550's are your using in to VT-100? Some are brighter than others. have you tried lowering the bias slightly? That will also take a bit of edge off. If the amp were either the MK I or II, I'd suggest rolling the 6922's into a Mullard or Brima...

Enjoy your music Mr J! 
Best 6922 tubes for BAT VK300x ???
Not a problem Mr Z. When I got my last ones, four came from W. Germany and two from Argentina. They've functioned perfectly for me. The seller of the pair I showed you posted complete specs, and good pics which are confidence builders in my book(o...
