EL 34 based amplifier recommendations
I second Gnsc's recommendation. If I'm not mistaken,I believe it can take KT-88, KT-90, 6550 and EL-34s. Eight total tubes used for output of 100 watts or a bit more depending on tubes used . There is a RM-9 for sale now in the classifieds. You co...

Go to klone-audio / click on Audio Worx Website / click on DIY Sound Absorbing Panels / click at bottom of page on Chris Tsutsui's DIY panels. Then say WOW! Thanks, Romakabi. 
If it were you, which non-Sony SACD?
The Marantz DV8400 plays all the existing formats except HDCD. The price won't break you and it has video capabilities to boot. I was not dissapointed with the one I purchased.
